What's going on in East County San Diego in March of 2020? I'm Kyle Whissel, with Whissel Realty Group, and I want to tell you about all the fun events that are coming up in March, here in East County San Diego.

And the first is something I've never heard of before, but I kind of like it. They're doing a leprechaun hunt. What's a leprechaun hunt? Well, just think, what's an Easter egg hunt, but with leprechauns, why not, right? Like, this is America, we just make a big deal out of holidays, let's make a big deal out of Saint Patrick's Day, and let's have a leprechaun hunt for the kids. So a super fun event, it's going to be at Stelzer Park, out in Lakeside. March 14th, 8 a.m. Bring the kids out, they get to run around the park, they get to find hidden leprechauns all over the place, trade them in for gifts, sounds like a really good time. I think I'm a be there, with my little one, hopefully you'll be there too.

And next up, Wright's Field, in Alpine. This really nice preserve in the middle of Alpine, they've got a new hiking trail, it's a 15 acre preserve out there, they've got a brand new hiking trail that they're opening up, it's one of your first chances to get out there and check it out, not a hard hike, nice easy stroll. So whether you're super fit or not so fit, and you just want to get out there and get some fresh air, this hike's for you, it's going down March 15th at 10 a.m., go check it out.

If you drive a fuel-powered car, and you love saving a few bucks, you are in luck, because there is a brand new Costco Fuel station that's going to be opening up in La Mesa, right there next to the Costco Warehouse, it's happening on March 19th, they're going to have a ribbon-cutting ceremony, it's going to be a massive station. If you've seen the one in Santee, this one is just like it, they tore down a big building, I believe it was a Babies R Us, that they tore down and put this thing in. Won't have those crazy long lines like you're used to at some of the old Costcos. This is where it's at, get out there and save yourself some money.

And last but not least, one here in my backyard, this is happening at Carlton Oaks Golf Course. It's a Santee Heroes Luncheon, and this is a lunch just all about recognizing the heroes all around Santee, recognizing the Rotarians, recognizing firefighters and law enforcement, and all the amazing people that help make Santee what it is. They'll have the person of the year there as well, it's a really fun event, it's happening at Carlton Oaks March 27th, so get out there, support those local heroes. These guys put a lot of time and energy and effort into making the community what it is. It's a great way to go out there and recognize them. So hopefully we'll see you out at some of these events.
