Angels Camp Business Association Weighs in on Visitors Center ~By Bob Menary
Posted by: thepinetree on 08/30/2010 12:24 AM
Angels Camp, CA...Dear Mayor Lynch and Council Members: I am writing on behalf of the Angels Camp Business Association Board of Directors and our eighty member businesses to urge the City Council to do everything in its power to keep the Calaveras Visitors Bureau’s Visitors Center in historic downtown Angels Camp. The Visitors Center serves as a magnet for visitors and residents alike. It attracts visitors to the county to stop at the rest area and to visit the Center’s shop. It expects nearly 13,000 visitors in the Center this year alone. Many of those visitors then take the time to walk up and down Main Street to shop, dine, view the historic buildings and read the Jumping Frog plaques. We believe that without the Center and its services, most of those visitors will not come into Angels Camp, much less stop to shop and dine...

Mark Twain is Back! Festival to unveil an unpublished volume of his autobiography October 15th & 16th, 2010.....Tickets Still Available!
Posted by: thepinetree on 08/30/2010 02:15 PM
One hundred thirty-four years after he departed California and sailed East to transform American literature, Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) is returning to the Pacific Slope. This year, 2010, is the centennial year of Clemens’s death, his 175th birthday, and the 125th anniversary of the American publication of “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” The setting for this uniquely Californian tribute to the master of American letters will be Angels Camp, Calaveras County. It’s a place still remarkably like what Twain experienced, of oak-studded hills, forests of pines, streams and rivers, of sturdy brick and rock buildings, and, today, of vineyards and award-winning wineries.....

The central issue was a large enough rent increase that would have forced the Visitors Center to move...
