Lots going on in California's Gateway to Yosemite

As I type this, the sun has returned, as well as that feel of spring.

Despite winter's little attempt and reminding us she can still return whenever she wants, there is so much going on throughout Madera County right now, and it serves to remind us how lucky we are to live here.

Right now in Oakhurst two groups have filled pretty much hotel room in the mountain area. The National Association of Women in Construction from throughout Central California are meeting here and really enjoying what the area has to offer. Also in town are hundreds of high school students and their parents competing in the Destination Imagination competition. Kids come together to learn team building and problem solving skills, helping their future and, because of the skills the develop, all of ours as well.

In Chowchilla you can experience the ways of the west as the annual Chowchilla Stampede is taking place. If you missed the annual cattle drive down Robertson Boulevard Thursday, you can still see plenty of rodeo action at the Chowchilla Fairgrounds today and tomorrow.

Meanwhile, the abilities of our federal legislators to come to an agreement has guaranteed that there will be no government shutdown, keeping Yosemite open. It's been all good news recently, and we're excited about life in California's Gateway to Yosemite. Come here for yourself, to see what we have to offer.
