About 10 Percent

“I jokingly call the show ‘Charlie Rose for the LGBT world,” said David Perry, Producer/Host of Ten Percent. “We may be only ten percent of the general population, in round numbers, but our issues are one hundred percent front-and-center in today’s world. Whether it’s the fight for marriage equality or debates about gay clergy or the right to serve openly in uniform, our issues are reflective of the world at large.”

“David has a well-known and unique voice that bridges many communities,” said Jason Holmes, Executive Producer at Comcast Hometown Network. “David’s talents and the launch of Ten Percent further enhance Comcast’s commitment to our communities and Comcast Hometown Network’s compelling, community-based regional programming,”

A collaboration that combines the iconic character as a canvas for the creative mind, Tian Tian, has already toured Toronto, Mexico City, and Chicago for its North American tour. According to Danny Yung, “I have always wanted to stimulate and inspire our society to be more innovative through creativity, and hope that creativity could help promote and maintain public spaces, to stimulate thinking and enhance communication, to create a more open, equal and interactive platform.” CHSA is excited to be a venue for this unique artistic experience.

National Tourism Week Calls Attention to Richmond Offerings

National Tourism Week Calls Attention to Richmond Offerings

Historic East Bay City Makes Bid: “Poised for a Hospitable Present.”

 6 May 2016 — Richmond, CA: “National Tourism Week is a great time to focus on all that Richmond has to offer as a local and tourist destination” said Beth Javens, Executive Director at Richmond Convention and Visitors Bureau (www.visitrichmond.com). “The fact is that more people are coming to Richmond as a destination for travel beyond business.”

Javens, a long-time hospitality professional in other regions of the country, sees Richmond as on the cusp of great things, tourism wise.

“Richmond is poised for a hospitable present,” said Javens, playing up the CVB’s current theme: Richmond Poised for the Present. “Thanks to historic preservation efforts, recreation advocacy and shoreline scenery including many water sports, Richmond beckons those with active lifestyles to pedal or paddle their way around this East Bay city. Try visiting one of our shoreline restaurants on the weekends or newly opened Riggers Loft Winery with unparalleled views.”

National Travel and Tourism Week — America’s annual salute to travel and tourism —was established by a congressional resolution in 1983. This week of events serves to champion the power of our industry. Travel and tourism professionals from across the nation work throughout the week to promote the impactful contributions their travel markets and organizations make to the U.S. economy.

While other California and Bay Area cities have long-established tourism mechanisms, in the last few years, Richmond has come into its own as a leisure destination according to Javens. Dozens of public parks, the historic Rosie the Riveter /WWII Home Front National Historical Park, 32 miles of waterfront (more than any other locality in the region), the Richmond Bay Trail and coming in 2018, a long-awaited ferry which will connect Richmond to San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area, all are part of what is causing people, especially Bay Area locals looking for weekend get-a-aways, to take a look at Richmond.

“Nearly a million dollars have been added to city coffers in the form of transient occupancy tax, ” says Javens, proof that historic Richmond is becoming, indeed, a travel destination.

Established as a 501c-6 tourism business improvement district established in 2004, the Richmond Convention and Visitors Bureau is the destination marketing organization for the City of Richmond, California.

Entradas ya a la venta: Círculo de Oro del concierto, y descuentos de pre-venta y para entrada a todos los días de Feria están disponibles hasta el 1 de junio!

28 de abril 2016 – San Mateo, CA: El domingo, 19 de junio, los visitantes a la San Mateo County Fair ( www.sanmateocountyfair.com ) se sentirán como si hubiesen cruzado la frontera del sur para escuchar lo mejor de la música latina! El última día de la Feria es una de las fechas más populares en el calendario cultural del sur de la bahía, con una celebración de gran alcance de lo mejor de la música latina e hispana: Día de la Feria presenta los estilos del Latin GRAMMY nominado conjunto Los Guardianes del Amor, el Pop Latino de Industria del Amor, el “rock” de Mi Banda el Mexicano, y las canciones cada vez más conocidas de Los Tiranos del Norte de Mexicali.

“San Mateo County Fair es sobre todo una celebración de la comunidad,” dice Chris Carpenter, el vicepresidente y gerente general del San Mateo County Event Center. “San Mateo es una de las comunidades más diversas del área de la bahía. Dia de la Feria es una manera en que celebramos esta diversidad.”

"No hay nada más divertido que el Dia de la Feria y la música," señala Kaitlyn Bailey-Findley, a cargo del desarrollo de la audiencia, quien se entusiasma al recordar a visitantes de la feria a “Tweetear” con el hashtag #SMCF2016. "San Mateo y el área de la bahía celebran con orgullo la diversidad cultural de nuestros ciudadanos y nuestros músicos. No hay que hablar español para disfrutar de la música en español."

Patrocinadores de la Serie de Conciertos en la San Mateo County Fair en el 2016 son: Coors Light, Blue Moon, Gold Rush Getaways, Sleeptrain Mattress Centers, Lifetime, First Choice Communications, Bay Area Air Quality Managment District, Welk Resorts, Xfinity, Paradise Spas, SamTrans, y Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Antes de los popularísimos conciertos del Día de la Feria que cierran la Feria del Condado de San Mateo, se presentan ocho días de música igualmente increíble en el escenario principal, con un programa de conciertos que han traído gran fama a la Feria de San Mateo: Night Ranger (11 de junio); Lone Star (12 de junio); The Boys of Summer – conjunto de tributo a los Eagles (13 de junio); Kansas (14 de junio); Tower of Power (15 y 16 de junio); The Spinners (17 de junio) y The Peninsula Symphony (18 de junio).

Además de los mencionados conciertos gratuitos habrá mucho para que los visitantes a la feria disfruten — actividades tradicionales e innovadoras como las siguientes:

• Aventuras de Mariposas, donde los niños pueden alimentar a las mariposas, y Captain Pirate Spareribs (Capitán Pirata Costillas), una divertida aventura de piratas.
• La comida de la feria – de muslos de pavo real a la barbacoa, al favorito de todos, Funnel Cake; así como una variedad de alimentos saludables en la Healthy Food Fare – Nuestra iniciativa de Comida Sana está de vuelta con opciones saludables ofrecidas por muchos proveedores de la Feria. Pero no se preocupen: sus comidas favoritas de la Feria seguirán estando disponibles desde la barbacoa al Funnel Cake.
• Ciencia, Tecnología, y “hágalo usted mismo” exhibiciones de ciencias están de vuelta – Los jóvenes pueden obtener experiencia práctica con nuevos conceptos innovadores y dispositivos, tales como impresoras 3D.

Además, hay actividades del 4-H, los futuros agricultores de América (FFA), la pintura, arte, artes literarias, cocinar y comer sano, que son sólo parte de las diversiones ofrecidas en la Feria.
• Actividades gratis en la Feria — nos encanta presenter el estreno de la ratonera de escala humana, el MouseTrap, introducida por primera vez en MakerFaire con gran éxito. Las 16 piezas de 25 toneladas, réplica del clásico juego de mesa, ofrece una marca única de ingeniería y de entretenimiento para niños de todas las edades. Combinando la física newtoniana, los artistas y la buena “grasa de codo” tradicional, la trampa de ratón de tamaño real utiliza seis máquinas sencillas hechas de materiales comunes para navegar bolas grandes de cuatro kilos por un recorrido kinético. Además el visitante verá paseos tradicionales en poney, carreras de cerdos, personajes paseando por la Feria, y mucho más. Este año, las nuevas ofertas incluyen al hipnotizador Kellie Karl-Hypnotist, artistas callejeros de San Francisco, Chef Landry, el Great American Mini Zoo y AgVenture, y “All Alaskan Racing Pigs,” cerdos competitivos de Alaska.
• Han regresado los Carnavales incluyendo el Freak Out! La Feria introdujo esta nueva atracción en 2014. Los pasajeros vuelan a 40 pies de altura. La Feria Freak Out se une a los favoritos como la Noria, Zillerator, y las montañas rusas
