Heading to Lake Tahoe this Labor Day weekend to celebrate the unofficial end of summer? Below are some tips and important information for residents and visitors to keep in mind for a safe and fun-filled holiday weekend.

We've all most likely had an experience hailing or calling for a cab, but how many have tried that doing that on Lake Tahoe? There are no stop signs or stop lights, it's worry free, no traffic, no parking madness, just you and the crystal blue water underneath your water taxi as it glides from marina to marina at a steady 10 knots.

On Monday I boarded the South Shore Water Shuttle at Lakeside Marina for a round trip to all four of its regular stops, Timber Cove Marina, Camp Richardson Resort & Marina and Round Hill Pines Beach Resort & Marina, and then back to Lakeside.

Since tetrachloroethylene, PCE, was found in drinking water wells near the "Y" in South Lake Tahoe, local water companies have been working together to ensure residents have safe drinking water. Those companies, South Tahoe Public Utility District, Lukins Brothers Water Company, and Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association, will hold a public meeting on Wednesday, August 8, to provide updates about the groundwater contaminant at the South Lake Tahoe Airport from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

On Saturday, June 30, 2018, the California Highway Patrol (CHP), South Lake Tahoe Area, will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint in the east area of El Dorado County. The checkpoint will be setting up at approximately 8:00 p.m. and will be operational at 9:00 p.m. The checkpoint will conclude at approximately 2:00 a.m.

It is unknown where it will be set up but could be anywhere from Meyers to the state line. Designate a sober driver if you plan to go out and drink.

The Animal Coalition of Tahoe (ACT) is holding their fundraiser, Beer, Bingo, and Burritos with your Best Friend on Tuesday, June 19 from 6:00 p.m to 8:00 p.m. at South Lake Brewing Company, 1920 Lake Tahoe Blvd., in South Lake Tahoe.

These wonderful meals are hosted by “Adopt A Day of Nourishment” sponsors who not only financially help cover the costs of the dinner but also send sponsor crew members who work alongside of the B&B volunteers to prepare the community dinner.

Locals day at the Lake Tahoe Golf Course to benefit the Lake Tahoe Humane Society will be Tuesday, May 15 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For just $20, hit the course and golf 18 holes.
