Jose Luis Recoder Business owner I really enjoy the musical concerts. I like that they feature older bands that I’m familiar with instead of just the newer musical groups and style of music that I don’t particularly care for.

It is a great opportunity to catch up with them while enjoying the fair atmosphere and the races, which are an inexpensive form of entertainment.

Last summer, a fire caused extensive damage to Harvest Park’s library and campus-wide low voltage systems. Since then, a 40-foot-by-48-foot portable has served as a temporary library. The school board signed off a few months ago on several contracts for the work; crews started getting to work in April and have been steadily repairing the damaged building ever since. Rebuilding of the library will be covered by the district’s insurance and is taking place in two phases; the first stage of demolition is already HOPE completed.

But as usual, she tries to keep a positive outlook. She has been part of the generation of horse racing industry that has endured the closing of tracks, as well as the number of horses depleting as barns move out of California. “I remember the last day, the last race, at Bay Meadows as I stood there watch- ing the race. It hurt to see Bay Mead- ows close, which also stopped the San Mateo Fair race meet,” Wasserman said. “While I was not there for the closing of Hollywood Park, I did watch the last race from the OTB in Pleasanton. It was sad to see Hollywood Park close. It was sad when the Vallejo and Stock- ton Fairs stopped live horse racing.” Racing in California is just not what it used to be, but there is still horse racing. Things change, time goes on.
