Other things to do before Party Swamis

To entertain and educate those gathering to watch the final day of competition, San Diego North Chamber of Commerce is organizing a “Stage 8 Experience” from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Town Center (Vons) parking lot.

“It will be an interactive health and wellness expo,” said Toni Kraft, whose company Lifestyles in Focus, has been hired to coordinate the activities for children and adults.

The event will provide entertainment, food and health information. This includes a children’s section that will have free and low-cost activities, such as balloon sculptures, face painting and a puppet show, Kraft said.

Children can also enter a bicycle-decorating contest. Judging is set for 12:30 p.m. For details, call the chamber at 858-487-1767.

Bicycle fans of all ages will want to head over to “autograph alley” near the start line around 9:30 a.m., where for one hour they might meet their favorite bicyclists. Due to security reasons, officials said fans would probably not be able to meet Lance Armstrong.
