Wylder Hope Valley History Series: Wedding of the Waters

The Wylder Resort Hope Valley continues its Eastern Sierra history series with a 50-minute slide show program, The Wedding of the Waters, on Sunday, February 19 at 1 p.m.

In October of 1937, Catholic Priest Father John Crowley carried out one of the grandest events to have taken place in the Eastern Sierra, in a magnificent three-day pageant. Over 50,000 people watched in amazement as a special gourd of water was moved from the highest lake in the United States to the lowest spot in the western hemisphere by a host of characters including Hop Along Cassidy, an Indianapolis 500 winner, the 20-Mule Team Wagon and many more. Even the President of the United States and the Governor of California were involved.

The free program will be presented at the Wylder General Store, 1/10th of a mile east of Wylder Resort on Hwy. 88 in Hope Valley, CA. Call David at 760 920-8061 for more information.
