The Happening That’s Happening From the IE to the OC in August 2018!
Summer is flying by WAY to quick, and If you are like most of us here at Kessler Alair Insurance you work hard to play hard. For many of us filling our weekends with fun family activities is first priority when we clock out on Friday evening. Having our offices located in Newport Beach, Rancho Cucamonga and Upland California gives us a wide variety of events to choose from. Of course one of the best things about Southern California is the fact that you can go snowboarding in the morning and sit on the beach to watch the sunset all in the same day. Even though school just started for some (and will start soon for others!) There is still a lot of fun to be had around town!
Whether you are in the Inland Empire or in Orange County and you are looking for a great thing to do this month here are a few ideas:
