LA Heritage Day ~ 4-11-2010 LA Heritage Day ~ L.A. HERITAGE DAY CELEBRATES AREAS’ EXTENSIVE, DIVERSE HISTORY<br />Over 200 Members of L.A. Heritage Alliance Join to Bring History Alive<br />LOS ANGELES – The recorded history of Southern California goes back over 500 years. It takes the efforts of hundreds of organizations to uncover, preserve, document and interpret this substantial, complex and significant legacy. On Sunday, April 11, the L.A. Heritage Alliance will host its Third Annual L.A. Heritage Day to share this history through tours of historic structures, a scavenger hunt, presentations, readings, performances and cooking lessons. A "heritage showcase" will entertain even the tiniest participants. <br />“In an area sometimes perceived as having no ‘real’ history, L.A. Heritage Day is an opportunity for people of all ages to learn about and enjoy the fascinating people, places and events that have shaped Southern California,” said Cindy Olnick, spokesperson for the Los Angeles Conservancy. “It is also a chance to learn about the incredible variety of local preservation groups, museums, libraries and historical societies serving today throughout Los Angeles County.” <br />L.A. Heritage Alliance was formed in 2008 to unify and leverage the efforts of more than 200 organizations in greater Los Angeles dedicated to preserving this area’s long history. Among the interesting groups participating in this year's event include the Culinary Historians of Southern California, Friends of La Laguna, Hollywood Heritage, Las Angelitas del Pueblo, Pacific Asia Museum, Pomona Heritage, LAUSD Historical Archives, the Santa Monica Conservancy, the Museum of the San Fernando Valley, and the Western Educators, Shooters and Troopers. A complete list of participating groups registered as of 3/15/10 follows this message. More information on the event can be found at www.laheritagealliance.org. With such a diverse number of groups in attendance, the event is a must see for any lover of history. <br />The Third Annual L.A.

Los Angeles Events Merchants of Moonshine ~ 4-11-2010 Merchants of Moonshine ~ Location: Edgewater Hotel & Casino<br />Venue: Edgewater/Colorado Belle Events Tent<br />Phone: (702) 298-2453<br />Toll Free: (800) 677-4837<br />Start Date: 04/09/2010<br />End Date: 04/10/2010<br />Dark Date(s): N/A<br />Times: 8 pm<br />Cost: $10<br /> <br />With the Merchants of Moonshine you’ll hear a great mix of country tunes. All of the guys in the band grew up around traditional country and southern rock. "Willie, Johnny, Merle, Waylon, Conway, the George’s, Alan, and Hank always accompanied us to backyard BBQ’s, BBQ’s at the lake, and at holiday BBQ’s. MoM was established around our quest for original, traditional, and yes, even some contemporary tunes that we honestly enjoyed creating, and recreating, live. To put it simply; We play what we love! We never play a song we don’t like, ever, for anyone!"<br /><br />"We love what we do and the people we do it with, plain and simple! This passion creates energy. If you’ve ever been to a Merchants show, we’re pretty sure you’ve left with some of our energy. We are true country music fans ourselves. We are blessed to be doing music with a family of fantastic musicians and amazing friends that come out to our shows. Why wouldn’t we have a great time? Why shouldn’t we have a great time? Welcome to the Merchants of Moonshine."
