The Kern County Museum started their Clock Tower Holidays last night with the theme “Visions of Sugar Plums”. This annual event kicked off the Holiday Season with decorated Christmas trees and wreaths. Ten Christmas trees were on display with 2 unusual upside down trees. I had the opportunity to decorate one of the upside down trees, Easter. It took me a few days to visualize decorating an upside down tree but once I got started it turned out quite interesting and filled with Easter Spirit. It took me 12 hours to finish this tree. The food was provided by T.L. Maxwell’s Restaurant, I was all over the chicken, sun dried tomatoes and spinach pasta. ☺ For more information about the Holiday Events at Kern County Museum check out their website.The Kern County Museum is located at 3801 Chester Ave.
Golden West Casino is Bakersfield’s place to play. I have always been curious about checking it out, but never have. This weekend with the coaxing of family visiting we went to the Casino. My cousin researched Bakersfield and when she found out there was a Casino she was thrilled. I had my lucky $20 ready for the slots! We walked in and the place was more packed that I expected for a Sunday Evening. Every table was filled with men playing cards, drinking and having a good time. Aren’t they supposed to be at home watching Sunday Night Football? I guess a good card game trumps football! ☺ We walked around looking for the slots but they didn’t have any machines. They only have Casino card games. We were disappointed about no slots, so we sulked over a drink at the bar. My little secret is, I was glad to find out they have Blackjack & Poker, because I want to learn how to play. Golden West Casino is located at 1001 S. Union Ave.
