December’s Season of Celebrations & Sharing Holiday Tree Lighting Event, Kings Beach, California

Holiday Greetings Everyone. For those of you that missed the Holiday Tree lighting ceremony last Friday, December 2, 2011 here in Kings Beach, California, at the North Lake Tahoe Events Center, here’s a peak at some of the fun we had.

Everyone who showed up, and braved the 20 degree weather had a really good time. Just being around all of that excitement was a wonderful feeling. Every time I watch this video I have to smile. There were some kids that were really excited to see Santa!

There will be a number of other holiday-seasonal events that will be taking place in the greater Lake Tahoe, Tahoe City, Kings Beach, Squaw Valley, Northstar, and Truckee, California areas. I hope you’ll get a chance to enjoy some of them. Happy Holidays!

The last couple of days around Activerain have been a little negative, I am not sure if it's something in the air, the planets or what?

So Vegas Bob went strolling through his photos he took at Lake Tahoe several months ago, and remembers this one quite well. When VB took this photo down by the shore line he was enjoying the scenery and "FRESH AIR" ...

And I can just imagine that these people in the boat were doing the same.

I also wanted to share with everyone viewing this photograph that I did not change any color, etc. This is an untouched photo except for the "Watermark" ... "Look at how BLUE that water is!"
