Tahoe Donner

Tahoe Donner’s board of directors, General Plan Committee and staff are seeking input from homeowners regarding two draft plans. The Euer Valley Operating Plan (pdf) proposes appropriate uses and guidelines for the newly-purchased property. The Cross Country & Equestrian Center Conceptual Facility and Activity Plan (pdf) outlines new facilities and activities for the year-round amenity space on Alder Creek Road, adjacent to the Euer Valley. Town hall meetings to hear member feedback are being held at the same times and locations, since there is some overlap on the issues to be discussed. The meetings are to be held at The Lodge Restaurant & Pub:

• March 13, 5-7 p.m.
• March 17, 3-5 p.m.

The first hour of each meeting will focus on the Euer Valley and the second hour will focus on the conceptual facility and activity plan. For more information on these capital projects, visit the Euer Valley project page and the Cross Country & Equestrian Center Facility project page.

The eighth annual Tahoe Donner I-Did-A-Run returns to Snowfest, with a new front runner Donner Bear, the Bernese mountain dog.

Bring your own dog or come cheer on all the pooches behind the Lodge Restaurant & Pub on Sunday, March 11. Registration begins at 12 p.m. Race starts at 1 p.m.

Race fee is $20 with proceeds going to the Truckee Tahoe Humane Society. Prizes will be awarded for the speediest finishers. All participants receive a “doggie bag” containing treats and goodies.

There will be five categories based on the weight of the dog:

• Puppy (not eligible for the overall win)
• 0-25 lbs.
• 26-50 lbs.
• 51-75 lbs.
• 76 lbs. and up

Here’s a hint or two for pet owners: you can bribe your pooch with anything and everything on race day, but remember pulling your canine during the race will disqualify your dog.

Raffle tickets for great prizes to benefit the Truckee Tahoe Humane Society will be sold at the event. Tickets are $1 each and winners do not have to be present to win.

The snack bar and pub will open at 11:30 a.m. The Pub opens for food service at 2:30 p.m. with happy hour specials.
