Murphys Worked Magic Again for the 2013 Grape Stomp & Street Fair. ~By John Hamilton |

Posted by: John_Hamilton on 10/06/2013 03:16 PM

Murphys, CA...The 20th Annual Calaveras Grape Stomp is in the books. It was another great day in Murphys. This year marked the 20th year for the Stomp. The Grapeful Dead produced a prodigious 18.73 lbs of juice from the 50 lbs of grapes that filled the barrels for the finals. This year 6 time winners the “Cluster Busters” announced that they are retiring their stomping feet and mucking hands and letting a new wave of competitors rise to prominence. They made the finals and finished in 7th place for their swan stomp. It is teams and efforts such as the “Cluster Busters” that have helped make this event one of the best of its type in Northern California. Beneath the costumes and frivolity there is always a competitive edge that drives many of the teams...

The Clothes Mine is Bringing Saks Fifth Avenue Experience to Main Street |
|
Posted by: John_Hamilton on 10/04/2013 09:54 AM
|
Angels Camp, CA....We had the pleasure last week to chat with The Clothes Mine's Tracy & James Lindenberger. They are among a growing segment of our local small business owners that are bringing major market, experience and knowledge to small town America. Tracy is a former Saks Fifth Avenue store manager and the couple even met while working at Saks. The retail and fashion industry has been their career choice. One of the things they have enjoyed about the transition to a more personal relationship with their customers is they can buy and stock with an eye how the fashions will actually look on local customers. Their beautiful Angels Camp location even has a full bridal section upstairs in addition to the latest fashions....
The photo above is from December of last year and the video interview was recorded last week. |
