ARCHES & BANNERS
The arch marking the start of stage 4 of the AMGEN Tour of California in Sonora, California on South Washington Street, May 16, 2012
The citizens of Sonora
gathered en mass to celebrate the event.
And the band played on.
A banner advertising the Sierra
Apple Festival across South Washington Street in Sonora.
The banner on the right is advertising the Sonora Celtic Festival. I can’t make out what the other banner is advocating – both stretched across South Washington Street.
These two banners hanging over South Washington Street had me giggling. I wonder if anyone else noticed these two might not be the best banners to put up together?
Now we’re up the hill in
Groveland and I can’t tell from here what the banner says, but the next photo
answers the question.
Looking at it close up
from the other side it says “American Heart Month, Go Red For Women”.
I have no idea what the banner way on down there is about, but it’s colorful and looks cheerful.
Something will be taking
place in the Tenaya (elementary) school gym according to this banner.
Looks like a 4th
of July celebration will be taking place at the Pine Mountain Lake stables in
Groveland.
Not much to say about this
banner except it’s a pretty shade of green & goes well with the trees.
Advertising the local
Christmas Craft Fair.
A snowy downtown Groveland
with its “Happy Holidays” banner across the highway makes the perfect Christmas
card.
Angels Camp’s Christmas
decoration ‘banners’ are especially lovely at night all lit up.
I want to dive right into
my computer screen and see what everyone’s selling!
These unique ‘banners’ in
Angels Camp are hung across the highway to remind folks of the coming Jumping
Frog Jubilee.
The sign on the other side of the arch reads:
“Luc’s Run/Finish”.
Luc’s Run is an annual
race held in historic Tuolumne City, CA to remember Maj. Lucas “Luc” Gruenther,
a United States Air Force pilot who died in the line of duty in 2013. The race begins and ends in front of Tuolumne
Veteran’s Memorial Hall and includes 3 races: a children’s race, a 2-miler for
walkers or short-route runners, and a 10K race, plus there’s music and other
fun festivities.
All proceeds from Luc’s
Run in Tuolumne go to the Major Lucas Gruenther Legacy Foundation, an
IRS-approved 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. The foundation provides scholarships to
Americans for the advancement of educational goals and self development. The 2024 11th annual Luc’s Run
raised over $49,000.
