HUNTINGTON BEACH...For the eighth consecutive year, the Bolsa Chica Land Trust has 
produced its "Wings Over Bolsa" wall calendar. With gorgeous full-color photos of the birds and wildlife at Bolsa Chica, this 13-month calendar is a stunning addition for the home or office and makes a wonderful holiday gift. Proceeds help with the Land Trust's education efforts at Bolsa Chica.
The cost is $11 each plus shipping, or 5 for $44 plus shipping (that's like buying 4 and getting 1 free!). Orders can be placed via the Land Trust website at www.bolsachicalandtrust.org. Calendars are also available at local Huntington Beach merchants including Bill's Camera and Jan's Health Bar, and will be available at the Trust's Town Hall meeting at the Huntington Beach Library on September 23.
HUNTINGTON BEACH...Surf City locals can now show off their city to visitors with their own personalized boardies featuring original photos of Huntington Beach surfing events on them. Perfect for traveling to other towns and beaches, it shows off the pride we have for our city's surfing community.

HUNTINGTON BEACH...Although the perfect Surf City weather would have us believe that summer has only just begun, Labor Day is just a week away, marking the end of the busiest period of the year in downtown Huntington Beach and the end to the successful pilot season of the Surf City Downtown Shuttle. The service will continue from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. September 4-5 and Monday, September 6 (Labor Day).
Free parking is available at Huntington Beach City Hall (2000 Main Street) and the Shuttle operates continuously throughout the day, providing free, convenient rides to stops at Main and Orange, and 5th Street/The Strand on the fun, woody-style vehicle. Recent passenger surveys have indicated that people from both Huntington Beach, surrounding cities, and even visitors from other countries have given high marks to the shuttle for efficiency, fun and service – if you haven’t had the chance to experience it, or want to make sure you get a chance to ride again before summer is over – make time to shop, dine and stroll downtown via the Surf City Downtown Shuttle!
