Repeal of Prohibition Celebration
Posted on November 8, 2013

Party in period style as you travel back in time to December 5th, 1933, the day the 18th amendment forbidding drinking was repealed!  Join us and four local wineries, Boeger Winery, David Girard Vineyards, Gold Hill Vineyard & Brewery, and Wofford Acres Vineyard who will be offering wine tasting at this event as well as soup, bread, and appetizers.  Old Hangtown Beer Works will be serving some of their award winning, handcrafted brews.  Our premises at 399 Placerville Drive will be decorated to replicate a 1933 speakeasy and a password will be needed to enter (the password is “Big Toad”).

Vintage cars and Costumes are encouraged.  There will be poker games and tickets for drawing prizes. For those who choose to dress-up there will also be prizes for the best period costumes and live music provided by Todd Morgan & The Emblems.  Todd’s original music takes elements from every faction and every era of American music from 1920’s/30’s Jazz, to 50′s/60′s Rock ‘n’ Roll, to present-day Pop and Rock, and everything in between, creating a familiar, yet fresh and modern sound.  Look out – you never know when the Keystone Cop will descend on the premises for a raid!  Prepare to see some of our most upstanding citizens thrown in the pokey.  You may be called upon to help make bail!  All proceeds benefit Mother Lode Rehabilitation Enterprises (MORE) and adults with developmental disabilities in El Dorado County. Tickets are available for $20 each or $10 for your designated driver.  Drivers will have the opportunity to win special prizes.  Call (530) 622-4848 more info. Buy your ticket here:

Posted on September 16, 2013

2013 Chili Cook Off and Classic Car Show Results and Thank You’s.

Our 13th Annual Chili Cook Off and Classic Car Show was our best ever, thanks to all our friends in Pollock Pines and the wonderful showmanship of our new best friend, Dave Bender of Channel 13 News. With 24 chili cooks, 47 classic cars, and close to 900 in attendance, this event was our most successful ever; and we’ve received many comments that everyone had a great time, which is the greatest indicator of success. The NoBs, a local band; kept us all hopping with their great renditions of old favorites. We owe all our chili cooks, who come out early in the morning to cut an prepare all their ingredients, a debt of thanks for all their hard work and support. We’re grateful to all the classic car owners for sharing their cars with our guests. We couldn’t do this without the support of all our sponsors to whom we are most grateful. And we very much appreciate the warm welcome we received from all the Pollock Pines merchants and residents. Thank you all for supporting adults with developmental disabilities and coming out on Saturday to show us how much you value MORE and our programs. Here are the results of the competitions:
