SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - We've seen the stories and photos of trash left behind by the large number of people spending time in the snow from Truckee to South Lake Tahoe. A growing problem is the people finding whatever patch of snow is available, normally in areas not previously used for snow play.

The Tahoe Chamber’s annual GO Local & Win holiday contest will launch on Small Business Saturday, November 28, and continue through January 1 to reward the community with cash prizes for shopping and dining at local businesses for the holidays.

This campaign comes at a critical time for businesses facing continued restrictions, and it is essential that the community band together and spend locally to save small businesses.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The South Tahoe Chamber of Commerce Board recently asked the nine City Council candidates ten questions they felt were of most importance to its members. The questions focused mainly on topics relating to things that will or may affect both the local small businesses and the community in general.

Their board made the decision to not endorse a specific candidate this election, but instead rank them based on how much they align with the South Tahoe Chamber of Commerce goals based on their answers to the questions below.

Lake Tahoe has lost one of its icons. At the young age of 66, Terry Alan Ogg left us suddenly July 28, 2020.

Terry was born March 18, 1954 in Richmond, California. He grew up in Pinole, California and graduated from Pinole High School in 1972. As a teenager, he developed a love for music and found his instrument, a "Huge" (his words) Hammond organ. He moved his organ to South Lake Tahoe in 1975 at the age of 21 on a quest to become a rock star, among other interests.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The popular farm-to-fork festival, Sample the Sierra, is moving to a digital format this year due to the current pandemic.

The 11st annual event will still include a variety of food-related entertainment typically found at Sample the Sierra, including cooking demonstrations, wine tastings, musical performances, giveaways, and shopping. Instead of only having these things during the day of the traditional in-person event, this year's will be spread out throughout August and September (a more detailed schedule is coming later).

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED. The Knights of Columbus at Saint Theresa Church in South Lake Tahoe are preparing for their annual Saint Patrick's dinner to be held on Sunday, March 15.

The dinner will be a traditional corned beef and cabbage meal with potatoes, carrots, Irish soda bread and plenty of desserts. It will run from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the church's Grace Hall, located at 1041 Lyons Avenue in South Lake Tahoe.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - A benefit performance of Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues will be held February 21-22 in the MontBleu Convention Center. Known as "V-Day South Lake Tahoe," the 18th annual event will raise funds for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence in the community.

The goal is to raise $15,000 for Live Violence Free, the locally-based nonprofit that provides the tools and resources necessary for these survivors to rebuild, gain independence and thrive.

On March 3, 2020, the Meyer’s community will need to make some difficult decisions about the services that we need and want in our community. Not only do we need to support our Lake Valley Fire Fighters through Measure B, but we also need to decide whether timely, safe and efficient snow removal is vital to our safety, our economy and our ability to live and work in Meyers. For the Meyer’s Advisory Council, the answer is a resounding YES.

LAKE TAHOE, Calif./Nev. = Discarded plastic sleds and their pieces +are still an issue around Lake Tahoe and continue to be a focus of efforts with partners of the Tahoe Fund.

STATELINE, Nev. - She came out swinging and never stopped with hit after hit and rolled out her newest single in 15 months to a very appreciative and excited crowd.

I admit I never knew much about Miranda Lambert except to see her on award shows and for the fact she was once married to Blake Shelton. I enjoy country music but have never been a dedicated fan, but after Thursday night's show at the Harveys Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena, I am going to start paying much more attention, especially to Miranda.

She started the show off with her 2009 hit That's the Way the World Goes 'Round -
