FLEA MARKET CANCELED
KING CITY — Oscar Avalos from King City Rotary announced May 2 that the Rotary Flea Market planned for May 23 had to be canceled due to Covid-19 restrictions. While the weekly flea market held at the same site at Salinas Valley Fairgrounds has an ongoing permit, the Rotary does not, and will not be able to host the event. Avalos said the regular weekly flea market will take place the same day instead, and the Rotary will have a table at that flea market. He invited the community to show support and visit the table. The Rotary is currently working on removing all signage advertising its flea market.
PINNACLES FEES
SOLEDAD — As part of a phased reopening, Pinnacles National Park resumed collecting entrance fees on May 1. Visitors can also use valid Interagency Passes for park entry. The list of entrance fees are as follows: Private vehicle $30, Individual (entry by foot or bicycle) $15, Motorcycle $25, Annual Pinnacles Park Pass $55. Visitors are strongly encouraged to pay by credit card or to pay online at recreation.gov prior to their visit. To reduce the risk of disease transmission, the use of cash at entrance booths is discouraged. With public health in mind, the visitor centers on both sides of the park and the Balconies and Bear Gulch caves remain closed at this time.
