▫ An Aerial Tour of Yosemite: Victor and I had an opportunity this last week to fly around in a tiny little plane over Yosemite, thanks to Larry Jobe. Instead of watching where we were going, I spent time taking pictures. Not great ones, but the act of taking photos kept my mind off the fact that I was flying around in a tiny little airplane.

▫ Groveland Art Stroll: Our final Groveland Art Stroll of the season is scheduled for Sunday, September 3rd. We will be hosting Art Quotient in the Hotel Charlotte, Liz Reinhard will be doing a portrait demo of Kay Glaves at the Groveland Hotel and we will have additional artists around town. This event will also have the Kiwanis hosting a family fun day in Mary Laveroni Community Park, with some of our artists displaying there too.  Come join us for strolling, shopping and chatting!

▫ 49er Festival & Chili Cookoff:
This year Victor is giving thought to having 2 chili booths: one for vegetarian and another in the meat category. This, after saying each year will be the last!  But the truth is, if it wasn't a blast, he wouldn't do it. This is our longest weekend of the year as we are enjoying so many places & events all day long, with the chili, the poker walks, the parade, the judging and frolicking and then we all come back to the Charlotte to open the restaurant for dinner. The energy is incredible!

Special Events Our calendar of local events has recently been updated to include fall happenings, including our October Cabaret and November WineMakers dinner. Check your schedules, then give us a call to hold your seats. This is a great tool to use to check what's happening when you are coming.
