Well, to help answer those burning questions as well as give a birds eye looks at the entire event every year a few minutes after the parade we walk from DEA Bath to the Wine Grape Alliance visitors center.

Arnold, CA...Last week one of the Matriarchs of the Arnold area had her 100th birthday! Happy Birthday Yolanda Mosbaugh!! Yolanda Mosbaugh is now 100 years old and was born on 3/16/1923. Yolanda was born in Italy and her parents moved to California when she was just an infant. She graduated from Bret Harte High School where her future husband, also love of her life, drove the school bus. Yolanda and her husband Harold Mosbaugh followed the logging boom from the Blagen Lumber Company Mill to Arnold. Later, the Mosbaughs purchased the Signal Station, which is now known as Arnold Chevron. They started delivering butane in 1946 to the White Pines and Arnold community, which at the time consisted of roughly 50 customers. White Pines Butane Service soon became Ebbetts Pass Gas Service, with over 9,000 customers.

Murphys, CA...The Luck of the Irish was on display today in Murphys for Irish Day. Crowd estimates are hard to do but it is not unreasonable to think that judging by the photos below there were 10 - 12 thousand people today in Murphys. It was a nice shot in the arm that many local businesses needed after the recent storms had depressed sales a bit. The next month is our favorite time of the year here locally. You can ski, golf, wine taste, mountain bike and even go for a boat ride & all on the same day if you would like! We have over thousand photos & lots of video in the can and should have them up tomorrow.
