Actor Glenn Ford
The City of Santa Clarita will induct Western legends Joel Cox and Glenn Ford into the Walk of Western Stars this year as part of the 19th Annual Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival. The induction ceremony is open to the public and will take place on Thursday, April 19, at 7:30 p.m. as part of the City’s Wild, Wild, West SENSES event on Main Street.
Editor Joel Cox
The Walk of Western Stars pays homage to the City of Santa Clarita’s Western roots and rich film culture. Similar in style to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Walk of Western Stars honors actors, directors and film professionals for their contributions to the Western heritage of America. Sponsored by the City of Santa Clarita and the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce, the Walk was established in 1981 and continues today as stars are immortalized in bronze and terrazzo tile stamped into the streets of Old Town Newhall.

Soledad Canyon Road Median Improvement Project.
The City of Santa Clarita will be recognized by representatives of the California Green Communities, an environmental recognition program, at the Tuesday, February 28, City Council meeting for achieving “silver” status as a result of the city’s commitment to environmental sustainability. Santa Clarita is one of only four cities to be honored by California Green Communities for its efforts.
Bouquet Canyon Road Improvement Project.
California Green Communities was created in 2009 and is spearheaded by Environmental Media Association (EMA), Southern California Edison, and Green Seal. The recognition program is a community-based effort that encourages cities to adopt environmentally sound practices involving energy efficiency, waste reduction, water conservation, renewable and alternative fuels, efficient transportation and other activities. To participate in the program, cities must develop their own action plan to identify projects and activities they will implement to reach Silver, Gold and ultimately Platinum status once all identified project areas are complete.
For more information visit the City’s website and for information about going green in Santa Clarita visit GreenSantaClarita.com.
