Where to Make a Run for It This Holiday Season
There's never a bad time to work on one's fitness goals, but our agents understand that we can all use a little extra help when the holidays roll around. Luckily, there are a lot of opportunities to dust off your running shores in Kern County this season.
These runs, races, and turkey trots in the Bakersfield area are great ways to get active this holiday season. If you're feeling over-stuffed from all the candied yams and pumpkin pie, a good run might be just what the doctor ordered!

Pick Your Pasta Oct. 25 Around Bakersfield
World Pasta Day is Oct. 25, so why not visit a Bakersfield restaurant to enjoy this popular dish that almost everyone loves? It's been around since at least 5,000 B.C., and today is served with a variety of sauces, proteins, veggies, and other tasty enhancements.
Our agents recommend trying one of the following restaurants on World Pasta Day and heading to the others when you have a craving for delicious Italian food:
- Frugatti's - 600 Coffee Rd. Suite L, Bakersfield, CA 93309
Voted "Best Italian Restaurant" for three years in a row by the Bakersfield Californian, Frugatti's features pasta that's made from scratch. After all, their slogan is "Real Italian by Real Italians." The menu is loaded with pasta dishes, including those that are baked in Frugatti's wood-fired oven. Many dishes have a short anecdote underneath that explains their origins, including the story behind the popular Nonni's Pasta Al Pomodoro. It was created because a friend described a great pasta he'd had, and the owners made their own version for him. He told so many people about it that the dish earned a spot on the menu.

Calling all beer drinkers! Tuesday, September 7th is a special holiday that you'll want to celebrate. Beer Lover's Day is a day to imbibe and enjoy this magnificent drink in all of its forms.

Dionysus Brewing has a great selection of sours. Their Super Funkadelic is a gose ale brewed with sea salt and coriander. The Berlinersfield, brewed with key lime and hibiscus, is another top choice among sour lovers. And of course, you can't go wrong with their Up, Up, Down, Down Pilsner, a balanced and summery beer.

Baldassare Forestiere was a young citrus farmer in Sicily who immigrated to the United States in 1901 to pursue his dream of creating his own citrus farm. After acquiring his own land, he began to create what we know today as Forestiere Underground Gardens in Fresno. With nothing but simple farm tools, he carved a series of tunnels, rooms, courtyards, and catacombs underground, with gardens growing throughout the underground space. Each room features classic Roman architecture, with arches built entirely from local stone.
