There are those that would say 2020 is hands down the scariest Halloween movie ever and yeah, I wouldn’t argue with that. The script for this year has certainly freaked everybody out. Add to that an election year and the advent of modern day zombies who’ve been quarantined a little too long and you have the ultimate scary flick that appears to have no ending. Are you wearing your mask? Yeah, I’d rather be scared by a movie and not real life if that’s okay?

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Work is underway on the Upper Truckee Marsh to restore and enhance over 250 acres floodplain by returning river flows to the center of the marsh.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Spending his workday outdoors and on the water in Lake Tahoe wasn't hard for Tanner Hart to imagine, and since buying Boat Docks Inc from life-long local Doug Gayner in January its something he gets to enjoy every day.

Gainer started the company over 40 years ago, specializing in boat docks in the Tahoe Keys. Now Hart has hit the waterways with the new Boat Docks Barge, something he designed, engineered and built with the help and support of Dan Benson.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Rockefeller Center in New York City has a Christmas tree as a backdrop for all holiday activities in the Big City since 1933, and now South Lake Tahoe is starting what hopes to be an annual tradition. Standing at 60-feet, the local version isn't quite as big as their neighbor on the East Coast (which runs 60-100 feet and can weigh close to 30,000 pounds), but it serve as a place to warm hearts and be a center of holiday photos and fun.

It was a true community project last weekend as Meyers residents prepared their famous tree for the holidays.Ed Cook Tree Service provided the crane and one of the climbers up the tree was rock climber Paul Crawford.

The Meyers Community Foundation's 7th annual Tree Lighting Celebration will be held on Friday, December 1 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (weather permitting). Catch Santa arriving by a Calstar helicopter, enjoy hot chocolate and popcorn and see the Lake Valley Fire Christmas Truck.

Catch all the activity in the Divided Sky/Downtown Cafe parking lot.

Highway 395 in Minden may be closed for up to two hours on Monday, May 15 to allow for the installation of the roof over the old mill silos.

From 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., as a precautionary move, traffic is expected to be diverted as Miles Construction uses a crane to install the structure. Traffic will be diverted onto an alternative route so expect a slow down in the area.

Buckeye Road will also be affected and will be closed at Heybourne Road and traffic will be diverted starting at 9:00 a.m. into the Winhaven development.

Nobody was injured when a crane being operated at the new Lodge at Edgewood Tahoe toppled over on Wednesday afternoon.

It's not every day you see a 2,200 pound, 26-foot tall guitar being driven along Highway 50 from Sacramento into South Lake Tahoe. Nor does one normally see a huge crane lifting a metal guitar over 100 feet to be placed onto a base in front of a South Shore casino.
