A scenic drive up or down the 395 in the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains leads to Bridgeport, California where we will be for the 4th of July weekend. The above schedule tells it all. Thye have something fo everyone and we will be part of the craft fair from Wednesday through Saturday. The fireworks on Wednesday will be spectacular and easily viewed from almost anywhere in town.

Have a happy and safe 4th as we celebrate 248 years of the most powerful and wonderful country on earth.

Safe fun and outdoors. Hope to see you there.

The desert gives way to sweeping vistas and snowcapped mountains as we drive up US 395 into the Eastern Sierra Nevadas, one of the most scenic drives in America. I have said more than once that this drive is good mental health therapy for whatever does or does not ail you.

We will be taking this drive for a Memorial Day weekend show in Bishop city park for the art and craft show help in conjunction with the annual Mule Days events held at the fairgrounds and throughout the city of Bishop. The show is hosted by the local non-profit arts council and we enjoy supporting local groups as we travel. The largest parade of its type in the country takes place and our booth is located just a few feet away from the parade route.

Whether or not you need a mental break, consider a trip to Bishop for the mules, the art, the great outdoors. Safe, fun, free and outdoors for the entire family. Hope to see you there.

The Antelope Valley Gem and Mineral Society will host their annual show at the Lancaster Fairgrounds this weekend, May 4-5. Sunday, May 5, there will also be a Cinco De Mayo event at the fairgrounds, as well. The rock show is free and parking is free for this event. Supporting local clubs makes doing shows like this all the more fun for us.
