"I went into a General Store, they wouldn't let me buy anything specific..." Comedian Steven Wright

The story of Camp Connell Continues with Camp Connell General Store & The Beer Garden. Owner Dan Tulipani and his crew show what Mountain Life is all about.

The Camp Connell of today was largely influenced by the surging popularity of auto travel through the mountains inspired when Dr. D. Sargent of Angels Camp became the first to drive an automobile over Ebbetts Pass in 1908. Family camping was destined to become an extremely popular recreational activity To meet those demands, Jack Connell began construction of a campground, cabins, general store and gas pumps in 1928. He and his wife named their endeavor "Camp Connell". Opened for business in 1929, the general store and gas station have been in operation ever since. The Connell's continued to expand the store and added a café to serve the increasing number of visitors. By 1934 the Post Office was moved to the store and became "Camp Connell Station". The store was a local gathering place where local residents and vacationers alike would come to share news and leave messages, much as it is today. Occasionally, Circuit Court was convened in the building. Monte Wolfe, Art and Harry Schimke, the Whittles, Hunts, Tryons, Lombardis, and Airolas were frequent visitors.

While the popularity of the general store and café continued, the campground was closed in 1949 and the property was subdivided into lots selling for $600 each. The cabins remained as part of Camp Connell until the 1960's, when the highway was realigned to accommodate the ski resort and village at Bear Valley, as well as the development of Big Trees Village. The old highway became the current two accesses to Camp Connell and the property has stayed much the same ever since.

Today the Camp Connell General Store is one of the oldest Chevron stations in California as well as the longest continuously operated retail business between Murphys and Markleeville. It is a popular stop for visitors and a cherished part of the local community."

07/06/2019 - The 39th Annual Arnold "Independence Day Parade" is July 6th! Attend, Enter or Become a Sponsor!
Arnold, CA...The Greater Arnold Business Association (GABA) is sponsoring the 39th Annual "Independence Day Parade" in Arnold on Saturday, July 6th, 2019. This parade is one of the biggest draws of spectators, local and secondary home residents and tourists to our town, reaching 8 to 10,000 visitors for the day. We celebrate our independence day in conjunction with other civic community groups such as: Arnold Lions, Arnold Rotary, and the Ebbetts Pass Firefighters Association.

This year we find it necessary to step outside of our current role as the sole monetary supporter of this event and seek additional sponsorship to support: our efforts. The increase in Cal Trans Fees, insurance and the basis cost of providing this event have increased substantially. As a non-profit organization, it is difficult to increase revenue for marketing and still continue to provide this annual event.

There are two $500 Title Sponsorships Available & 4 $250 Sponsorships avaailable. Sponsors will receive poster recognition, radio identification, press release mentions & acknowledgements in our advertising and endorsements.

This is new territory for GABA, but we hope you will be able to extend support to our efforts to continue this wonderful day of recognition and patriotic appreciation. If you have any questions, or comments, please contact me at 209/768-6396 during the day and 209/795-5600 in the evenings.

Sincerely,
Linda Baker
Parade Chairperson

P.S..There are also several GABA Board Positions available. If you would like to join GABA in promoting the business community from Forest Meadows to Lake Alpine Join Us Today!
