I would like to welcome the City of Redlands to our Highway 99 Association. The City of Redlands is our first major sponsor, and we look forward to seeing more in the future. Redlands will also be the first city in San Bernardino County to have Historic US Highway 99 signs posted along its segment. Thanks to their generous donation and application, we can make sure US Highway 99 remains an important part of California history. We hope other cities and organizations follow their lead in the near future.
Remember, When You’re Through Getting Your Kicks on Route 66, Come Wine and Dine on Route 99! There are a lot of good places to do both in Redlands along 99. Come check them out and tell them the Historic Highway 99 Association of California sent you!
Greetings All!
I apologize for the absence of a newsletter this last cycle. I’ve been busy with moving and remodeling a house so have been unable to work on much things related to the Association. Your continued support is greatly appreciated. We have a few projects in the works still, including signing the Pine and Palm, posting new Historic Route 99 signs in Redlands, and saving the 1925 concrete date stamps in Calimesa. We can use your help in many ways including helping with our newsletter and outreach. Got something fun to talk about along Highway 99? Contact us for more information!
