 | | 1. SEE THE SIGHTS AT CKC-RIVERSIDE |  Thinking about attending CKC-Riverside this year? Then you're in for a treat! This is a fabulous, new location for a CK Scrapbook Convention and we're thrilled to come and enjoy scrapbooking with you in the warm, California sunshine. Here are some great sites to see and places to eat when you attend CKC-Riverside. Riverside is a beautiful city in the heart of California. This quaint town is home to the famous Mission Inn and Spa, an Inn built in the mission revival style that boasts many architectural elements of the 21 California missions. The Mission Inn was set up in the 1800's by some very wealthy easterners and Europeans who flocked to Riverside in search of a warmer climate. These wealthy visitors also had the desire to invest in the area's profitable citrus industry. By the 1890's Riverside was the richest city per capita in the United States. And so the Mission Inn was built with the first wing of the hotel opening in 1903. Now, if touring the Mission Inn has made you famished you can hop across the street to Mario's Place. Here you'll be greeted by a scene from Italy! This restaurant is complete with a fabulous live jazz music to boot on Friday and Saturday nights. Not to mention the menu looks like something out of a movie! If that is not enough remember that the beach is only a short drive away! Come shop and take some classes with us in Riverside, California, the newest CKC location! See you there! | | 2.
