UPDATE FIREWORKS SHOW

Ridgecrest Rocks! Flops!

July 2, 2022 – Ridgecrest July 4th Celebration: Last minute funding from the City of Ridgecrest enabled the Desert Empire Fair to hold the annual fireworks show over by the dog kennels.

Sorry, Ridegecrest is closed on July 4th. NO 4th of July festivals or parades are planned by the City of Ridgecrest. A short fireworks display will terrify the dogs at the Ridgecrest animal shelter at 9:00 p.m. on July 2nd. Mayor Bruen, CEO of Desert Valley’s Federal Credit Union, a for-profit-non-profit corporation, claims the City can’t affored to pay police officers overtime but funded the fireworks show at the Desert Empire Fair*, which is managed by an Executive Director* who’s also a Board Member of the Desert Valley Federal Credit Union, an “agriculture” association-corporation.

Desert Empire Fair’s Mission: “To serve as a well-managed, safe, multi-purpose, year-round facility which meets the diverse educational, recreational, economic, social and entertainment needs of the residents and communities of the 53rd District Agricultural Association.

The show will be held on Saturday, July 2nd and not Monday, the 4th of JulyThe City’s 4th of July “celebration” follows a dismal month and a half for the City’s Mayor Bruen and former Mayor Peggy “Mealy Mouth” Breeden as well as Councilman Scott Hayman. See Below for the details.

The City Council forgot to recognize Memorial Day and there was a noticeable dearth of flags displayed throughout the town, especially by the business community. Only four businesses on China Lake Blvd displayed the Flag on Memorial Day.

WESTA-LUSK IN THE HEADLINES YET AGAIN: COVID DRAMA

During the June 1st council meeting, the members of the council were knowingly exposed to Covid by Renee Westa-Lusk while presenting a “key to the city” to her. Westa-Lusk felt the need to explain the timeline of her illness via a phone call to the IWVGA PAC meeting held on June 23rd.

She explained to a handful of PAC members that were present that she got sick, felt better, went to the Council to receive the “key”, then got sicker and hasn’t been right since. Since there’s been no news in the papers, we thought everyone should have the opporunity to run around town with their hair on fire demanding a quarantine of the entire City Council who’s members are nowhere to be found.

Why Westa-Lusk waited to phone the GA PAC during the June 23 meeting (where she wasn’t) instead of the City Council meeting (where she was) on June 16 is unknown and council watchers eagerly await an explanation at the next Council meeting to be held on Wednesday July 6th.

Ridgecrest will be closed on the 4th of July
