On Sunday April 13th at 2:00pm "Benny & the Swamp Gators" will be playing live at the Corona Library.

Bennie Gibbs and the band have been together since 1994. Foks that hear the Swamp Gator's infectious music find it hard to stay in their seats, and can usually be found on their feet dancing to the Zydeco beat. Here is a sample of this great music.

So come down and enjoy one of the hottest Cajun/Zydeco bands in Southern California.

Admission is FREE!

Since today is Earth day I thought we might talk about cleaning "Green" around the house. We use cleaning products everywhere throughout our home; on our countertops, floors, dishes, hands and many other places. A good rule is if you don't want it on your skin or in your body, don't use it. More and more companies are creating "Green", safe and healthy products.

Here are just a few companies:

• Seventh Generation
• Method
• B_E_E
• Begley's Best
