The second annual Taste of Route 66 self-driven tour will be held in the Los Angeles area on Saturday, reports the Fontana Herald News.
The tour begins between 4 and 5 p.m. at Upland Sergio’s Restaurant at 659 W. Foothill Blvd. There, the other destinations in the gourmet tour will be revealed.
The driving tour is produced by the California Taste of Route 66 Corridor Committee, a group of individuals from nine communities on or near old Route 66 in California dedicated to increasing awareness of their area. The cities include Fontana, Azusa, Glendora, La Verne, Pomona, Rialto, San Bernardino, and Upland.
Proceeds from the event will be used to beautify the famous road in several affected cities as Caltrans relinquishes control of Foothill Boulevard over the next six months.
Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 on Saturday. For information, call Bob Lundy at 909-383-1256.
