It seems like it never dies down in Palm Springs—which is why so many people are on a quest to find La Quinta real estate and equestrian homes in the area. This week is a perfect example of the exciting community that makes up the desert cities—check out the lineup of what’s happening today, Thursday, February 20 and this evening.
The renowned Frank Sinatra Hearing Technologies Celebrity Invitational kicks off this morning and lasts through Saturday, February 22. Also known as “Frank’s Little Party in the Desert,” this fan-friendly celebrity golf tournament features two days of world class golf, three nights of unforgettable parties, an incredible luncheon and fashion show, as well as auctions and amazing live entertainment. The tournament is held at the Eagle Falls Golf Course, with special events taking place at the Fantasy Springs Casino, located at 84-245 Indio Springs Drive in Indio. Founded in 1988, this favorite event of local owners of La Quinta real estate and homes in the other desert cities is dedicated to the memory of Frank Sinatra and his music, and benefits the Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center at Eisenhower Medical Center.
For art fans, the University of California, Riverside Palm Desert is hosting a screening as part of the Palm Desert Art Documentary Series 2013-2014, called My Kid Could Paint That. The film tells the story of artist Marla Olmstead, a four year old who catapulted from obscurity to selling $300,000 worth of paintings and receiving international acclaim. Her journey was unique, however—the media accused her parents of exploiting her and posited that she didn’t paint the works herself, creating a unique controversy in the art world. The screening takes place from 6 to pm.
From 8 to 10 pm this evening, the McCallum Theatre will host a comedic performance of The Second City presented by Happily Ever Laughter, featuring music and on-the-spot improvisation. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a long day at work or a week of viewing equestrian homes in the area.
