Hi! I’m Casey Warren Crabtree and I am beyond honored to be the 2024 Norco HorseWeek Grand Marshall. Growing up in Manhattan Beach Calif did not stop my NEED to be a horse girl! My parents were incredibly supportive, to the point that mom ended up managing the Palos Verdes Estates stables, a place I could feed my horsey crazy heart!! We would often travel East on the 91 to Main St, travel up Hamner and visit friends in Norco (no 15 freeway then!). I LOVED this crazy little town and when my folks retired I knew as a young single mom I could not afford to stay “on the hill”! My friends and family thought I was crazy but in 1989 with their blessing and support, my almost 3yr old daughter Scotti, my 2 horses, 1 pony and 2 dogs loaded up and moved our lives to 1057 5th St! Raising Scotti here was the best decision I could have ever made!! From Town & Country Day School thru Norco High, she was raised by our village of amazing friends!! In 2010 I met my now husband Wessley at Saddle Sore Saloon when he and his friends were visiting from AZ. We have been blessed with so many wonderful memories with plans to create so many more!! HorseWeek has always been one of my FAVORITE times of year! I take the entire week off work at UPS, so I can enjoy and participate in all the fun!! The volunteers who make these events happen are my heroes!!! I am looking forward to seeing everyone this year! Come support our wonderful little HorseTown USA and remember to thank all the hard working folks who give us this opportunity to celebrate!!

  Town Marshal
  Geoff Kahan

Howdy! I am Geoff Kahan, and I moved to Norco in 1999 with my wife, Lisa, and our 2 children, Rachel and Jonathan.  I became active in the community starting in 2003 as a Norco Little League assistant coach when Jonthan began T-Ball and later began volunteering as an Assistant Scoutmaster in Norco Boy Scout Troop 33.  I later went on to serve as the Scoutmaster for 2 years from 2012 to 2014.  During my 12 years of Scouting, I earned the Temescal District Award of Merit and the Inland Empire Council’s highest volunteer award, the Silver Beaver. I was also active in the Norco High School Blue Diamond Brigade parent’s booster club helping with halftime shows and local band competitions while Rachel was their Feature Twirler.  In 2012, I was appointed to my first of 3 terms on the Parks and Recreation Commission where I served as the Chairman for 2 years.  Shortly after starting on the Commission, I was appointed as an inaugural member of the, then, George A. Ingalls Veterans Committee, now known as the Norco Veterans Commission, where I served as its first official Chairman in 2023.  In 2014, as a member of Norco’s 50th Birthday Celebration committee, I was in charge of the Car Show and Sock Hop at the Riley Gym and was instrumental in the Grand Opening ceremony of our Veterans Memorial.  I have been a member of the Christmas Festival and Parade of Lights for 12 years and served as its Chairman for 4 years.  I was responsible for requesting the City Council to officially rename the event from Winter Festival to Christmas Festival in 2015.  Over the years, I have truly enjoyed helping with parking at the Hillside Craft Fair, announcing at all of the annual Norco parades, being the DJ at the Norco Fourth of July picnics and Mayor Trail Rides, announcing at the National Day of the American Cowboy, and being audio technician at the Veterans Memorial Plaza.  I have also volunteered my DJ skills for the Corona Chamber of Commerce, local and statewide elected officials’ campaigns, the Norco Rotary Car Show and the Lake Norconian Club Foundation annual fundraisers.  My family and I are long-time members of RURAL and the Norco Horsemen’s Association, where I served for 2 years on the Board of Directors.  I took a short break in 2021 when I received my liver transplant, but within a few months, I was back on my feet and once again volunteering alongside my fellow Norconians.  Norco has proven to be a fantastic town to live in and raise our kids. The wonderful Norco Horseweek committee, and all those associated with them, are truly the cream of the crop.  I am extremely humbled, thankful, and honored to be asked by them to be the Town Marshal for Norco Horseweek 2025.  Long live Horsetown, USA!
