While savoring a stroll along the picturesque Oso Creek Trail, trail users can also learn about the 13 talented, renowned authors taking part in the 3rd annual Mission Viejo Readers’ Festival on October 1.
The City has put up posters of the authors on 30 x 30 easels in the “Celebration Garden” along the trail. The posters feature QR codes (a type of matrix barcode targeted toward smart phone users) that list history and information about the authors and their books. Just download a scanning App on your smart phone and scan the QR codes to get the scoop on Linda Evans, Cornelia Funke, Robin Preiss Glasser and others who will appear from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Oso Viejo Community Park and the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center.
While in the Celebration Garden, trail users can also enjoy amenities such as the pilasters filled with community art. To get to there, park in the lower level of the Potocki Conference Center off La Paz Road and walk north along the trail. The Celebration Garden is less than a 1/2 mile on the left.

Mission Viejo seems to love visual pollution. All that junk along the Crown Valley and Oso/Margarite intersections and now the trail. Mission Viejo, please put our money to better use!!
I’m delighted that MV hosts a Readers Festival each year and includes some some well-known authors. However, the picture of Linda Evans “assets” that has been plastered all over Mission Viejo has no place in our excellent city. Just because Ms. Evans feels it necessary to appeal to the lowest common denominator to sell her book doesn’t mean that the City of MV has to be a willing accomplice.
