BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Basketball, volleyball, and pickleball are only a few of the activities that Gameday Sports Academy offers to the community. I’m Eric J Dockery, your Bakersfield neighborhood reporter. Through a new partnership with the California Cardiovascular Institute, the 4-year-old facility has a device ready to assist in an emergency.
The Heart of the City event will be a day full of fun… with a variety of activities… food and vendors to greet those who come threw the door.
But there will be something else watching them from this day forward.
