A few weeks ago, we launched a call for donations to Help Keep Tahoe Weekly Alive! and we appreciate all of the donations we’ve received thus far.
But, we still need your help to keep going and make it through the challenges created by the coronavirus and its impacts on our business and other local businesses. Please continue to support us by making a donation, purchasing advertising, and eating, shopping and recreating with our advertisers.
I’ve been talking the last few weeks about the local people that work for Tahoe Weekly and the local businesses that advertise and support Tahoe Weekly. This week, I’d like to talk about the people of the Tahoe Sierra – the locals that we cover in every edition since 1982.
About locals, by locals
I often tell people that we “Cover the Fun.” But, it’s the people of the Tahoe Sierra that we really cover. From local artists and musicians, to trail builders and trail blazers, from chefs and foodies, to event planners and producers, to ski resort operators and outfitters, they are all locals.
They live in the Tahoe Sierra for a season or a lifetime, they work hard and play even harder, they take care of each other, they spend countless hours helping friends and strangers because it’s the right thing to do, they raise their families and help build a strong community. They are the locals that prepare your food, rent you a kayak, have fresh produce at the farmers’ market, run your favorite artisan shop, play the music to entertain you, make your can’t-live-without coffee every morning, and are always willing to stop and give you directions, recommendations for lunch or a good hike for the family. Tahoe isn’t Tahoe without our locals.
In every edition of Tahoe Weekly, our local writers and contributors cover these locals.
Artist Sara Smith created “Spirit Bear II” that we are featuring on this edition’s cover, and Kayla Anderson wrote the article on the grassroots artist studio tour in Kings Beach. Tony Berendsen leads Tahoe Star Tours and penned the story on “The Perseids: Falling Stars over Lake Tahoe.”
Sean McAlindin, our Entertainment Editor and a local musician, wrote the story on “Miki Rae: Sings Songs of Sunshine.”He profiles local musicians and performers in every edition. He also has been covering public access issues in the Tahoe Sierra for several years and looks at the recreation plan being discussed for the Highway 89 corridor stretching from Tahoma to Camp Richardson; a plan that will impact visitors and locals alike.
Food Editor Priya Hutner, who also runs an organic meal delivery service, features local specialty markets in this edition and has been covering the local foodie scene for more than 6 years.
Mark McLaughlin has been writing about local history for 25 years for Tahoe Weekly, Sommelier Lou Phillips has been sharing his knowledge of wine for more than 6 years, and Chef Smitty has been satiating our appetites with his recipes for 15 years.
Please help us to continue to support the good works provided by our contributors and our staff in every edition by making a donation.
