Birth pangs of cityhood took place 20 years ago
On Sunday, August 22, the City of Canyon Lake will have a picnic to celebrate the 20th anniversary of incorporation as a city – one of several celebrations the City has planned this year. It will take place at the Farmers Market in the Towne Center with the sale of 20-cent hotdogs (for 20 years of cityhood, of course). The date Canyon Lake actually became a City was December 1, 1990; however, the birth pangs of cityhood came long before that.

Betsy's Best Bets: Examine your home through eyes of a Realtor
I love walking through model homes. I get decorating ideas and inspiration to paint or rearrange furniture and always leave with a home improvement project in mind.

Each summer for several years now I’ve promised myself I would plant a vegetable and herb garden. This year I finally did it.

I wonder sometimes if World War II “victory gardens” were so named because the gardener was ecstatic that the plants survived.
