Every super hero gets his powers from somewhere. The young hero of this book, Rocco, thinks his abilities come from his shock of red hair, and the longer it gets, the stronger he becomes. He even has a posse of super friends with wild hair of their own. Our hero is unstoppable--until the day he's dragged to the super evil villain's lair and robbed of his powers. How will he face his friends? Will he ever regain his super hero-ness? A girl who has been watching all along offers the gang a chance to save the day and get their groove back.

The Gamble House Celebrates its Celtic Roots

The Gamble House

4 Westmoreland Place, Pasadena, 91103

4:00pm to 7:00pm

The Gamble House celebrates the Celtic roots of the Gamble family with an afternoon of Celtic festivities including a performance with Jamie Laval, one of the premier Celtic violinists on the international music scene today, musical entertainment from the Pasadena Scottish Pipes & Drums, Highland dancing, a Celtic marketplace, food and beverages, fun and games, complimentary Celtic food tastings, local brewers and craft beer tastings, and tours of The Gamble House on Sunday, June 2, 2013 from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. on the grounds of the iconic Gamble House located at 4 Westmoreland Place in Pasadena to celebrate the Celtic Roots of the Gamble family.

The Gamble House is an outstanding example of American Arts and Crafts style architecture. The house and furnishings were designed by Charles and Henry Greene in 1908 for David and Mary Gamble of the Procter & Gamble Company. The house, a National Historic Landmark, is owned by the City of Pasadena and operated by the University of Southern California and is open for public tours.

Descended from Scottish and Irish ancestors, David Berry Gamble was a second-generation member of the Procter & Gamble Company in Cincinnati, and had retired from active work in 1895. With his wife, Mary Huggins Gamble, they began to spend winters in Pasadena, residing in the area’s resort hotels. By 1907, the couple had decided to build a permanent home in Pasadena. In June of that year, they bought a lot on the short, private street, Westmoreland Place, passing up the more fashionable addresses on Orange Grove, known at that time as “Millionaires’ Row.” The house remained in the Gamble family until 1966, when it was deeded to the city of Pasadena in a joint agreement with the University of Southern California School of Architecture.

TICKET PRICES:
General admission: $50.00 - includes entertainment, touring of The Gamble House, and food & drink "tastings" (craft brews for those over 21, artisan sodas for the younger set);
