Saturday, October 14, 2006   10:00 am to 4:00 pm
Discovery Meadow, Guadalupe River Park

It’s time again for Pumpkins in the Park!  This is a great family event.  Pumpkins in the Park is a celebration of the environment, the Guadalupe River, and the fall harvest season.  Admission is free.


A bright orange pumpkin patch and a fanciful scarecrow display will welcome you to the park.  We’ll have varieties of specialty apples to taste, fresh pressed apple cider, and entertainment by popular children’s entertainers the Banana Slug String Band, Zun Zun and many more.  There will be tons of fun activities for children, including pumpkin decorating, puppet shows, environmental education activities and the chance to learn some traditional circus arts from Cosmo the Clown.  Help us celebrate Fire Prevention Week with the San Jose Fire Department by exploring the fire trucks that will be on display.


A variety of food and beverages will be available for sale.  There will also be free promotional items given away throughout the day.  Pumpkins in the Park will be held at Discovery Meadow, near the Children’s Discovery Museum, in the Guadalupe River Park. Admission is free, parking is convenient, and the site is adjacent to a VTA light rail station. Click for details.

Sunday, October 29, 2006


Organizers of the 2006 Metro Silicon Valley Marathon are planning to build upon the success of last year's event with more participants and more race activities.  "This year we're focusing on the importance of health and fitness throughout the lifecycle, especially as it relates to families and children," said Race Director Doug Epstein. "The event appeals to people of all backgrounds, ages and abilities, and is something the whole community can embrace."

Events scheduled for Race Day, October 29, include a Marathon, Half-Marathon, The Lucile Packard Children's Hospital 5K Run/Walk presented by Silicon Valley Community Newspapers, and the Phelps & Cohen Orthodontics Kids Races. In addition, 2006 marks the second running of the Comerica Corporate Challenge. Donations will be made on behalf of the winning teams to The Health Trust's Wellness Education and Prevention Fund. The grand celebration at the finish line in Discovery Meadow features live entertainment, team mascots, food from local eateries and hundreds of awards.  Click for details.
