December 9, 2006 - Wildomar Elementary School Bell Dedication
Established in 1886, Wildomar Elementary School's bell last rang in the 1950's. Now, thanks to the efforts of the Wildomar Historical Society, it rings once again. Sealed in the roof of the bell tower are two time capsules which will be opened in 2056. Don't let the younger generation forget where they are hidden! The background music for this video was chosen as a date stamp since it was the number one song at the time of the bell restoration.
