South Tahoe planning for its 50th anniversary

South Lake Tahoe has launched the Tahoe Heritage Program in honor of the city’s 50th anniversary on Nov. 30, 2015.

This program is being organized to record the oral history of Lake Tahoe’s early history by some of the original families which settled in the South Shore.

The city envisions the creation of partnerships to include an anniversary book and special event celebrations throughout the year.

Another idea is to create fireside chats at Lakeview Commons during the summer months. Community members would be encouraged to attend to share their Tahoe stories while roasting marshmallows and sipping on hot cocoa around the fire pit.

Volunteers for the Tahoe Heritage Program can be longtime local or new community members. The only requirement is to have a passion for the South Shore’s history.

To volunteer for this program, call Tracy at (530) 542.6093 or via email tfranklin@cityofslt.us.
