Our own Goose is running for Honorary Mayor of Groveland. This new title, sponsored by the Yosemite Chamber of Commerce for the 49er Festival in September is a huge fundraiser.
Each candidate is sponsored by a local club or non profit and raises money by selling bribes. Goose entered the race on Monday and earned his first $20 in bribes that same night. Bribers receive a raffle ticket for each $1 of grease.
Goose is sponsored by Camp Tuolumne Trails and endorsed by staff at the Groveland Vet's Office and famed Pet Photographer, Terri Metz, our neighbor Bunny Rose and Carol from Custom Rentals across the street. We welcome additional endorsements.
Goose is running with several campaign platforms the first, and most important is a fire hydrant on every corner. If we can, we will get one for every house! Second on his list of goals is to get dog treats in every store, if we can, every person should carry dog treats.
Goose will make his first public appearance on Tuesday, July 8th and has a fairly open calendar. Please contact his campaign manager Lynn to book Goose. Now that his running has been announced, we expect his engagement time to fill up quickly.
We look forward to seeing you around town!
Lynn, (For Goose!)

Save Strawberry Music Festival
Hello all,
Today's Union Democrat indicates that if a new contract isn't signed by June 20th between the City of San Francisco and the Strawberry Music Festival the festival will look to relocate. They are considering locations in Mariposa County.
This festival brings 4-5000+ folks into our area, eating, sleeping, gasing, spending...Twice a year from a Wednesday to a Monday, a huge time span from our usual 1-2 nighters. I imagine the loss of a venue of this size would surely be felt by the local businesses that support this event and the county not to mention all the FAMILY styled fun and music that would be missing too.
The festival has posted a listing of links to get the word out to the City of SF on how important this festival is. Let's all write them a letter and tell them we want the festival to stay here.
Should the city and the festival not come to an agreement, are their alternative locations to host this event in Tuolumne? Let's work together to keep it in our back yard!
Here is the link to the information Strawberry has published: http://www.strawberrymusic.com/Strawberry_Music_Festival_Announcement_of_6-6-08.pdf with contact email information at the bottom.

Is Tioga Pass open or closed?
Funny thing about Tioga Pass this year. We haven't had a spring time when it has opened and then closed, though that happens often in the Fall. Sadly many folks were unable to get across this weekend, but the pass is open now. There are still storms going on today, (Thursday, May 29th) and we had guests go across and come back yesterday and they were snowed on. They kept their convertible top down and just loved it.
The pass is Officially Open for the season, however, storms may affect a temporary closure for safety reasons. You can always get the most current update from 209-372-0200, press 1 for roads and weather, then 1 again for roads.
Have safe trips!
