Howdy, pardner! Dust off those boots and come on over to YAHOO! Happy Birthday Pasadena!!

Our frontier town is celebrating 133 years of cityhood with a free party for one and all. Join Mayor Terry Tornek, City officials and party-goers of all ages for an afternoon of trick roping, foot-stomping musical entertainment, exhibits, activity outposts, a crafts corral, gold panning, and extra-special photo opportunities.

Festivities begin at 1:00 pm. The official cake cutting ceremony with Mayor Terry Tornek, City Council members, and other VIPs is scheduled for 2:00 pm, with special thanks to Signature Cake Sponsor, Baja Ranch Supermarket.
