Good morning, Bakersfield.

Bakersfield hosts a free Eggstravaganza at MLK Park on Friday, March 27, from 2 to 4 p.m. with an egg hunt at 3 p.m. and fun with the Easter Bunny — the city is also asking residents for input on a park revamp that may include an aquatics facility.

Rising gas prices are prompting Bakersfield drivers to switch to E-85 fuel today as a cost-saving measure, though local station manager Amit Cheema warns that non-flex fuel vehicles risk engine damage.

Cheema + noted that declining fuel deliveries may lead to shortages soon.

An 8th grader from St. John’s Lutheran School in Bakersfield won the Kern County Spelling Bee and will compete in the national Scripps event in Washington, D.C. at the end of May after correctly spelling 'chorten' (she has worked hard for years and enjoyed strong support).

Bakersfield saw record heat last week—temperatures reached 95° on several days—and the forecast for today calls for a week of 80s with no measurable rain expected.

On Monday, March 23, Arvin leaders unveiled solar panels at the wastewater plant—these panels will meet the plant’s power needs and cut 360 metric tons of CO2 yearly, equal to removing 80 cars from the road.
