Arnold, CA...On many holiday weekends including Memorial Day & Fourth of July the Ebbetts Pass Veteran's Memorial district makes sure the flag is flying in communities along the Ebbetts Pass Corridor to honor those who have served.

Angels Camp, CA....We understand the value and importance of youth sports to our students, families, and the community. Many of you have been asking for youth sports to return. Currently, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has not issued guidance on this topic and has advised local public health departments that they did not have the authority to grant permission for those activities.

From the Archives....The GABA 2008 Arnold Independence Day Parade
Posted by: thepinetree on 07/03/2020 12:48 PM
Arnold, CA...We dug into the archives to bring you a parade of Independence Days Past. This is video, photos and verbiage from 2008..."We would like to thank GABA, The Greater Arnold Business Association, and the committee of volunteers along with Grand Marshal, Betty Ann Prescott, for doing a bang up job organizing this year's parade! There were some well thought out floats this year. As an example you could tell Hours upon Hours were spent on floats like the Pinebrook HOA float. This year even featured some great "Live Action" floats. I sure bet the fisherman on the Golden Pines float need a throat lozenge after his high energy "Fishing" all the way down the parade route. Jenny Roland started things off with a stirring A Capella singing of our national anthem. We have full parade video and over 200 photos. Thanks everyone for such a great parade. We hope you enjoy the parade video and photos as much as we enjoyed the parade."
