All Day Mr. Frog’s Wild Ride Returns to Feeney Park in Murphys
Murphys, CA...Mr. Frog’s Wild Ride returns to Feeney Park in Murphys on Saturday, May 7 with three all-new bicycle rides that are challenging, exhilarating, and take you through some of the most beautiful countryside in the world at one of the most beautiful times of the year. And after the ride, there will be a party in the park with barbecue prepared by Chef Laura Lowell and a crew of Feeney Park volunteers.  Live music will add more fun to the day.





A fundraiser for Feeney Park—a community resource managed and supported solely by volunteers—Mr. Frog’s Wild Ride went dark due to the pandemic. This year the Feeney Park Board of Directors want to bring the ride back to real-time, and they want to do it in a big way. Local cyclists Keith Maurer, Peter Maurer, and Motherlode Bicycle Coalition board members Rob Williams and Carl Baker scouted three new routes that loop from Feeney Park into the foothills and mid-elevation up-country that surround Murphys.

Each of the three rides are challenging to some degree, with remote routes on a variety of road surfaces, heart-thumping climbs and winding descents, all on back roads that emphasize the wildness of Mr. Frog’s Ride. Williams, who is organizing the ride, advises that while a SAG wagon will be available to rescue worn-out cyclists, riders should honestly assess their capabilities, and that, once on the road, “ride slowly and enjoy yourself. It’s a ride, not a race.” Of course, e-bikes provide a welcome boost and are perfectly acceptable on this ride.

Along the way, riders will find fully-stocked rest stops; restrooms will be available. All rides return to Feeney Park, where an after-ride party will include barbecue and live music.

The event owes its success to volunteers who do everything from check-in, to food prep, to ride safety. Board member Susan Lyneis extends an invitation to the community to participate in the event. “If you’re not a rider, but you’d like to volunteer or sponsor the ride, we’d love to have you,” she says. “It’s a great group of people. Sometimes it’s more fun to be a volunteer than it is to ride.”

Register in advance for Mr. Frog’s Wild Ride online at www.mrfrogswildride.org. Or you can register the day of the event between 7 and 9 a.m.

However you choose to participate—as a cyclist or a volunteer—you’re bound to have a wonderful, wild time!

All Day Steel Magnolias at Sierra Rep Through May 15th

Truvy’s salon is Chinquapin, Louisiana’s go-to place for a beauty fix with a hearty side of gossip. Along with her overeager assistant Annelle, Truvy pampers her small-town clients with hairdos, manicures and all kinds of unsolicited advice. Anybody who’s anybody is a regular: There’s the doting M’Lynn and her soon-to-be-married daughter Shelby, the moody Ouiser and the well-to-do widow Clairee. Through witty banter and wisecracks, this hodgepodge group of women form friendships as strong as steel, which they are forced to lean on when tragedy strikes.

Steel Magnolias is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.

Steel Magnolias previews at the East Sonora Theatre at 6:30pm on April 14 and 15, and 2pm on April 16. The show opens April 16 at 7pm. Regular performance times are Wednesdays at 12pm, Thursdays at 2pm, Fridays at 7pm, Saturdays at 2pm and 7pm, and Sundays at 2pm through May 15.

For more information and tickets please visit www.SierraRep.org or call the Box Office at (209) 532-3120. The play runs 2 hours and 10-minutes with intermission. Ages 13+, children under 5 will not be admitted.

Copperopolis, CA...January 15, 2022 The 21st Annual Hot Copper Car Show, one of the largest car shows in the Mother Lode, is returning to the Town Square at Copper Valley on May 7, 2022 after a two year hiatus. It will feature classic, custom and hot rod cars, trucks and motorcycles from throughout Northern California and is open to the public free of charge.



This event is sponsored by the Lake Tulloch Lions Club in cooperation with CV Development Partners, with all proceeds going to benefit the community through scholarships, donations to local non-profits and other services. This is all made possible through the sponsorships of many local businesses and individuals throughout Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties. The show brings thousands of car enthusiasts to the historic mining town of Copperopolis, CA located in the beautiful Copper Valley approximately 45 minutes east of Stockton on Highway 4. The Lions Club anticipates between 250 and 300 cars and trucks to be on display at this year’s show. The first 200 car show participants that sign up will receive a special dash plaque and all registered vehicles will take part in a variety of categories to qualify for trophies. For the public, there will be food, beverages (including two no-host bars), raffles and fun. Breakfast will be available in the morning followed by lunch. For further information on the car show visit the car show website at www.hotcoppercarshow.com or contact Gene McKee at (209) 785-4952.
