Murphys, CA...To hear Jennifer Nettles tell it, it’s a brand new day in Sugarland. Despite winning multiple Grammy, CMA and ACM awards—and selling more than 8 million records—the country-music duo of Nettles and Kristian Bush is embracing a creative rebirth, a musical awakening that permeates their adventurous fourth album, The Incredible Machine. “We are in a place of discovery,” Jennifer says. “It is the essence of who we are as people in this band. There is never a moment where we think, ‘This is good enough.’ There’s always a place for growth.”

Hey Good People!!! Stellar Conditions & Copious Amounts of "Pure Mtn Fun" Awaits
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/31/2019 11:06 AM
Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People! What an awesome weekend so far! Beautiful sunny days and temps in the 40’s…..you can’t beat this! Today the high will come in around 48F with ENE winds in the single digits. A return of unsettled weather will arrive April 1st(no joke there) and bring warmer temps with it. Snow levels at first will be around 8000’+ then drop to around 6000′ by Tuesday. @ other quick moving systems will try and add more snow to the area come Thursday but model solutions are still a bit weak on those projections and the current trend is less than more for the system later in the week. Spring is here and so are variable weather patterns so keep checking in daily. Conditions are amazing and with 480″ of snow so far this season we look to have awesome conditions well into spring. Our closing date is currently April 21st. Don’t forget about our 2 tickets for $99 every Tuesday and 50% off lift tickets for students and Emergency Responders. Come check out our “Pure Mtn Fun” as we have lots of it going on!

Friends of the Calaveras County Fair are continuously working on new projects and upgrades for the fairgrounds. The Junior Livestock Committee manages the annual junior livestock show and auction, while maintaining the livestock barns and facilities.
