From the April 15 meeting of the Fallbrook Community Planning Group: In the coming year, the area on South Mission Road between Rocky Crest and Main Avenue has been selected as part of San Diego County Green Streets Clean Water Plan. Storm drains and tree areas alongside sidewalks will be modified to capture rainwater while filtering out pollutants and improving the landscape (see picture). This section will begin in 2024 and is estimated to be complete in the summer of 2025.

FPUD recently awarded the Fallbrook Village Association funds to improve Railroad Park on Main at Elder. Improvements will be:  finishing the fencing on the deck, installation of a donor rock along with exterior lighting, a clock on the ticket booth and outdoor railroad displays including baggage car, a video of Fallbrook’s railroad history and other items.

People were having a lot of fun, though some of the babies weren’t sure if they really wanted to be dressed as avocados.

Vintage cars were on display — this one is a gem!

There was live music at the Main Stage (at Scrappy’s).

Farther down Main, the Ace Hardware parking lot was transformed into a carnival with rides and bouncy slides.

By Monday, all trace of the Avocado Festival had vanished. Downtown traffic was back to normal, Porta-Potties were removed and all traces of the street fair had been cleaned up.

From the April 15 meeting of the Fallbrook Community Planning Group: In the coming year, the corner of S. Main & W. Aviation will receive an improved sidewalk with a pedestrian ramp from sidewalk to street adjacent to Las Brisas Restaurant similar to the project recently completed across Aviation adjacent to Trupiano’s Restaurant.  Sidewalk improvements will continue along Main, but will not interfere with Trupiano’s outdoor dining. This work on South Main is funded by a San Diego County Community Development Block Grant for Fallbrook.

The Fallbrook Land Conservancy is celebrating the arrival of a new sculpture in the Wildlife Sculpture Garden. The sculpture is titled Misty Morning by renowned sculptor Don Rambadt.

The new piece will be dedicated at 1815 South Stage Coach Lane at 2 – 3 pm on Thursday April 25.
