The Wet Seal is opening a new store in Valley Plaza mall on Friday.
Wet Seal is a clothing retailer aimed at young women.
A grand opening for the new store, which is next to Sears, will be held July 11.
As part of the grand opening, the store will offer Wet Seal gift cards, ranging from $5 to $100, to the first 100 customers who come to the opening.
The Kern Minority Contractors Association will host a California Unification Certification Workshop from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m Thursday.
The workshop is being held to help local contractors complete the application needed to get certified to bid on projects that are funded by the federal stimulus package.
Presenting at the workshop will be a Caltrans certification analyst, who will go through every step of the application process.
Those who pre-register will receive the required application, as well as a checklist of items to bring to the workshop. Pre-register at 324-7535.
Those who don't pre-register are still welcome to attend.
The workshop will be held at the organization's office at 1330 E. Truxtun Ave. A similar workshop will be held in either August or September.
Animal Emergency and Urgent Care has received accreditation by the American Animal Hospital Association.
"AAHA is kind of like a gold standard in the veterinary hospital world," said office manager Johnni Flesner. "Being accredited means we have met a lot of different standards."
To be accredited, the hospital first had to be evaluated. The evaluation included reviews of the hospital's facility, medical equipment, patient care and human resources.
"You name it, they check it," Flesner said.
Animal Emergency and Urgent Care, at 4300 Easton Drive, has been in business for more than 30 years.
