Fundraiser supports Sierra State Parks Foundation

Sierra State Parks Foundation is having a fundraiser aboard the Tahoe Gal on Oct. 7.

The annual fall fundraiser leaves the dock behind the Safeway in Tahoe City promptly at 4pm for 2½ hours.

Money raised will help restore the South Boathouse at Sugar Pine Point State Park. The cruise will turn around at the boathouse to view the restoration currently in progress.

Aboard, storytellers will include retired State Park Chief Ranger Brian Barton, Olympic and Twain historian Dave Antonucci, State Park Superintendent of Emergency Services Scott Elliott, Donner Party historian Greg Palmer and comedian Darleen Pierson. Emcee will be humorist Ed Miller.

Prizes will be given to those who figure which stories are true. There will also be a live auction.

Tickets are $75, $70 for members. They are available online.
