At least that is what many call memorial day weekend, and it sure seems to hold true with the number of events taking place this weekend.
EVENTS The weekend is chock a block with deck opening parties, park openings, and of course barbeques and music. The west shore association is hosting "Opening Day at the Lake" which includes deck opening parties at Sunnyside, Chamber's Landing, and the Bridgetender, openings and tours of Vikingsholm and the Erhman Mansion, boat shows, and best yet a seaplane splash-in. Last year about 12 seaplanes splashed down on west shore for the day and this year they are expecting up to 24. These planes will be of all types from all eras. The schedule is for a fly in on Monday morning followed by a barbeque and a fly by finale that afternoon. Weather permitting this could be a great sight to see. Here are the photos from last year http://www.mikebrownsplashin.com/menuphotos.htm. This could be a great event to book the Tonopalo Formula for....
Another heralded event this weekend is the Grand Opening of the newly built Tahoe Maritime Museum. Opening day will begin with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11:30am on Saturday the 24th. There will be tours, refreshments and of course raffle prizes. The prizes include gift certificates from local businesses....AND, everyone who joins the museum on opening day will be entered for the grand prize, a cruise for four aboard the famed Thunderbird yacht combined with a private tour of the Thunderbird Lodge!! This is the best raffle prize I have seen in a long time!
FOOD After a few years hiatus Captain Jon's will be back in business. The location was filled for the past few summers with various seasonal restaurateurs, but this summer will be re-opening as the original Captain Jon's. Right down the street from Tonopalo and with beautiful lake views this could be a welcome addition to the north shore dining scene. They open this weekend, so if you go you'll have to let me know how it is. Reservations can be made by calling 530-546-4819.
BIKING The Northstar mountain bike park returns to operation this weekend with the scheduled opening of the Gondola (2 more lifts to follow when conditions permit). Just like everyone else Northstar has a full weekend of events planned including Giant bike demos on friday.
GOLF All golf courses are open by this weekend! Northstar is offering early season rates through June that include $50 for 18-holes. Call the front desk for tee times.
BOATING Just a reminder that jet skis are available for rent right at Tonopalo through Thomas Brothers Moto Sports (that's Bentley and his brother Ronnie) by calling the front desk or 530-448-1087. And don't forget about the Tonopalo Formula. It is in the water and ready to cruise the lake. Call the front desk for reservations.
TONOPALO REAL ESTATE Home #2 is now priced at $749,000. This is a steal for this home! Visit http://www.tonopalosales.com/ for more information on available shares.
