Local Radio Host to Emcee Borrego Springs Festival

Patch blogger Francoise Rhodes tapped to host Desert Festival Parade in Borrego Springs.

For the second year in a row, local radio personality (and Patch blogger) Françoise Rhodes will emcee the Borrego Days Desert Festival Parade.

"I have such a wonderful time at this event and for a small town, they create a big event," Rhodes said. 

The parade includes antique cars, horses, celebrities, parade floats and dignitaries. The parade is also the kick off event for a weekend of entertainment, vendors, food, kid zones and parties celebrating Borrego Springs. The majority of the weekend celebration takes place at Christmas Circle, the center of town. 

The Borrego Days Desert Festival runs October 27 & 28. Borrego Springs is about a 90 minute drive from Palm Springs and surrounded by the Anza Borrego State Park. 

Rhodes will also be broadcasting her radio show 'Traveling With Françoise' live on Sunday, October 28, from Christmas Circle.  The show can be heard from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. streaming live via www.moneyradio1200.com or www.travelingwithfrancoise.com .

You';re welcome, Renee but I don't really expect thanks for my contributions to the classroom. IRead More wasn't going to stand by and see kids not have the basic things they needed to get through the class and most teachers are of the same mind :) Sadly, school budgets have never covered all the needs in classrooms.

Dorothy you actually believe criminals can't get guns without a background check. Wow are youRead More naive. Just because YOU don't understand why some people want a particular weapon...does not mean you can impose your ownership standards on someone else. Suppose I suggest you don't need the particular car you drive or the particlar beverage you drink? I see you are opposed to hunting. How do you feel about abortion? Typical liberal double standard at play here??

Totally agree. This is just the beginning of a gun grab. All it will accomplish is furtherRead More restrictions on law abiding citizens. Chicago is a perfect example. Strictest gun control in the nation and highest gun crime and murder rate. Criminals do not comply with the law. Only legal citizens will lose their rights to own the weapon of their choice. Liberals are all about choice when it comes to killing an unborn, but when it comes to a lawful gunowner's choice it's a different story altogether.
