Sender’s Market Weekly Ad & Grocery Specials Through March 19th! Shop Local & Save!!

Posted by: thepinetree on 03/13/2024 11:13 AM
Mountain Ranch, CA…In 1950, we started out as a family operation with Erich’s father and mother, August and Freida Sender, in a century-old adobe building. The upstairs was home to the Sender family, and the first floor included groceries, a meat market, a bar, and a small eating place called Opa’s Smokehouse. On Christmas morning in 1968, the old store was destroyed by fire. But in June 1969, Sender’s Market, Inc. was opened. Since that time, there have been many changes, including remodeling, expansion, and the addition of many employees. That’s also when we added the truss plant and purchased Sender’s Market Ace Hardware in Valley Springs. Today, we’re still family owned and still working hard to stock everything from pantry essentials to power tools. Whether you’ve got questions about the perfect cut of meat or the right kind of paint, our helpful, knowledgeable staff has you covered. Click on images below for larger versions

A Winter Concert Series with Grover Anderson & the Lampoliers

Posted by: thepinetree on 03/13/2024 10:52 AM
Murphys, CA...Grover Anderson and the Lampoliers ~ Friday, March 15! Whether you find his writing wicked or charming, there’s no denying Grover is a product of Calaveras County, following in the footsteps of Mark Twain and Bret Harte. March marks the 10th anniversary of his breakout album The Optimist, and he'll perform songs from it (along with plenty of others) with his band The Lampoliers—Josh Certo, Dave Duggan, Owen Ragland, and Graham Richards. (A “lampolier” is a soul-devouring demon who dwells in abandoned mines and is probably not a word that Grover made up.)
