Happy Fourth!

FIREWORKS Celebrations are abound this weekend and here are a few places to celebrate our Independence by watching fireworks displays.

July 3rd - Squaw Valley - Laser light show, live music, and activities all day at Whole Lotta Squaw
July 3rd - Kings Beach - The fireworks will start right off the beach 15 minutes after dusk.
July 4th - Tahoe City - Fireworks Display off of Commons Beach in Tahoe City. Show Start at approximately 9PM
July 4th - Truckee - Fireworks at West End Beach on Donner Lake (tickets must be purchased in advance for access to West End Beach)

EVENTS Free outdoor concerts are open to the public every Sunday at Commons Beach in Tahoe City. This weeks featured artist is the Kenny Neal band. Concerts run from 4-7pm.

Also at Commons Beach are free movie night on Wednesdays. This weeks movie is The Golden Compass, starting at dusk.

RAFTING The Truckee River is open for business. The water is flowing and last weekend the rafting companies opened for the season. Visit the Truckee River Raft Company or Truckee River Rafting websites for more information, directions, and of course discount coupons!!

If you are looking for more adventure, raft the lower Truckee River. Starting just east of Truckee the river runs about 7 miles towards Reno where you will experience everything from class 2 to 3+ rapids. This is just a short trip from Tonopalo that will provide loads of fun. Contact Tributary Whitewater Tours for more info.

4Th OF JULY FYI......With the 4th falling on a Friday this year I would expect that the area will be as busy as ever, so I would recommend that you avoid driving over the weekend....especially to Tahoe City! The traffic in TC is notoriously bad on Summer afternoons and I would expect that this weekend the problem will be even more magnified.

So, book the Formula for a couple hours, rent Bentley's jetskis, or just hang at the pool and beach. If you can, wait until Monday to schedule your big Tahoe excursions. Have a great week and Happy 4th of July!!
