Tahoe Paradise Park celebrates 50th anniversary Saturday

Back in 1965, a resolution of the El Dorado County Supervisors and a vote of the people residing in Meyers voted to create a park for their community. Now, 50 years later, that same community is celebrating the park's 50th anniversary and everyone is invited.

On Saturday, July 11, the celebration at the park will start at 10 a.m. and go until the sun sets behind the mountains.

There will be food, vendors, a car show, beer and wine garden and a concert throughout the day.

From noon to 2 p.m., Deep Fried Mojo will be playing, followed by Outpatients and Guests from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and capped off by Keyzer Soze from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The family friendly event will be held at the park which is located at 1011 East San Bernadino Street in Meyers.

he park has been going through some major improvements in preparation for the celebration. "It's looking amazing, thanks in large part to all our volunteers who have stepped up to help," said County Supervisor Sue Novasel who sits on the park board. "What a great community!"
