Notice a few more custom cars cruising the streets of Pleasanton these days? They may be here for the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association's 30th annual All American Get-Together at the Alameda County Fairgrounds this weekend, one of the biggest custom car shows in the West.

To commemorate the event's 30 years and to help old-timers find the car they remember from 1983, Goodguys will hold "Flashback Sunday" with a special parking area for cars made in 1983 in honor of the event's first year. Hits from 1983 will play over the public address system, and Goodguys will reprint a limited number of T-shirts from the original event.

Gates will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday; and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, and the Goodguys AutoCross will run throughout the event. The awards ceremony is slated for 3 p.m. Sunday.

General admission is $17 for adults and $6 for ages 7-12. For more information visit www.good-guys.com or call 838-9876.

Zone 7 Water Agency is sponsoring a free Water-Wise Gardening Workshop from 10-11 a.m. tomorrow at Western Garden Nursery, 2756 Vineyard Ave. in Pleasanton. The event will cover ways to reduce water waste and pollution-causing practices, and still maintain a beautiful garden and yard.

To learn more, call 454-5015.

Last week's story, "PUSD gives nod to early retirement buyout plan," should have said that Pleasanton has nearly $6.7 million in undesignated reserves; up to five retiring teachers per year can receive the district retirement award of $37,737 and they are not eligible for any health care benefits; others eligible for health benefits have coverage for 60-84 months or until age 65.
