Sorensen’s Resort history series continues with “Going for the Gold-Lake Tahoe and the Olympics”

Sorensen’s Resort in Hope Valley continues its local history series on Sunday, April 16 at 1 p.m. with a 50-minute slide show, “Going for the Gold-Lake Tahoe and the Olympics.”

Alex Cushing and the State of California brought the 1960 Winter Olympics to the Lake Tahoe area...Walt Disney brought the Olympics to the World. From hosting the first Olympics that truly utilized modern technology, to creating a world-class Olympic training facility deep in the Sierra Nevada forest, the Lake Tahoe region has played an important role in America’s success in both the Summer and Winter Olympics for generations.

The free program will be at the Café at Sorensen’s Resort, located on Hwy. 88, 1 mile east of Pickett’s Jct. in Hope Valley, and is open to the public. Call David at (760) 920-8061 for more information.
