Five Things You Need to Know Today
Today is July 28. Here are a few things going on in and around your community.
LINGERING CLOUDS: Wednesday's gorgeous day will be a tough act to follow. Today, the National Weather Service is forecasting partly sunny skies gradually clearing throughout the day with a high around 95 degrees. The clearing will continue overnight, as they expect mostly clear skies with a low around 66 degrees.
MARKET NIGHT: It's Thursday night, so that means that Downtown Redlands will have street closures for Market Night. Food and craft vendors, live entertainment and a selection of farm fresh produces will be available for anyone looking for an evening out of the house. The event is open from 6 to 9 p.m., and children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult after 8 p.m.
COMEDY NIGHT: If Market Night's not your thing, then head over to Empire Bowl for show at 8 p.m. Comics Katsy Chappell, Sean McBride and Vic Dunlop will perform in the show, which open to ages 21-and-older. Admission cost is $15 presale or $20 at the door, and includes the show and two drinks. To buy tickets, head over to Empire Bowl's 11th Frame Lounge.
