Get Out: Five Ideas For Your Weekend

This weekend, we remember

Band One Republic's biggest hit this summer has been a song called "Good Life" and its lyrics celebrate being grateful for the good lives we really have. As we honor the 10th anniversary of 9/11 this weekend, I believe that reflective message is a good one. Celebrate life this weekend and never forget.  

Our goal is to make the Get Out planner as reliable as possible, but keep in mind, some events change at the last minute. We advise calling ahead just in case.

When/Where: 7:30 p.m. this Friday at the Pomona Fairplex Grandstand, 1101 W. McKinley, Pomona

Why Go: Powerhouse groups En Vogue and Salt-N-Pepa will perform their audience's favorites at this concert. En Vogue's heartstopping harmonies ring through hits such as "Free Your Mind" and "Giving Him Something He Can Feel." Pioneer rappers Salt-N-Pepa gained fame with "Push It" and sustained it with songs such as "Shoop" and "Whatta Man." The Emotions, the group behind catchy "Best of My Love," are also scheduled to perform.
