Favorite traditions continued and new traditions began with Lake Alamanor's first ever music festival. What a weekend! Starting with the Momboosa Wine Walk on Saturday, which brought 750 people through the merchants and services of Chester, and a sold out Momboosa pre-party Friday night at Bailey Creek Golf Course, the 4th of July weekend was off to an incredible start. Early reports from merchants indicate some had record sales during the 2-days of the Wine Walk. The Chester Classic Fun Run registered just shy of 500 participants, their largest run to date. The Parade had a significant increase in parade entries over last year with the California Highway Patrol estimating record parade goers lining our Main Street. read more...
