It started out with------a major West Shore power outage. Of all days. Many standby generators were started and many businesses continued without interruption. PDQ Market lost their card readers, but had lights and coffee! What a crowd! Unbelievable. The espresso stop(Where We Met) lost out on several hours of business(-$$$$$$), but no serious harm.
Tahoe House was a zoo, with lines out the door; but they handled the crush quite well from all appearances. The beaches were jammed and boats were afloat everywhere.
Today is gorgeous, with light breezes. It appears there's a forest fire over Spooner Summit, in the Carson Valley. Hopefully, it will be under control soon. Towering clouds of black smoke were billowing high in the sky, moving in a northerly direction.
Firehouse breakfast Saturday morning
Meeks Bay Volunteers are putting on their annual fund raiser tomorrow and Sunday. They hope to raise some funds for equipment.
Fireworks
Several venues around the lake offered spectacular fireworks last night at about 9:45pm. Glenbrook, South Lake, and Camp Richardson did their best. The skies were clear and the night almost balmy well into the evening. The Mayor and friends had a nice view from high above Meeks Bay. After a few glasses of wine, some great BBq'd burgers, it was a fine night.
