January Snowshoe Hikes Snowmobiling	In January, everyone lays back in Shady Cove. This is a time that we like to spend with our family and friends, watching football, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, sledding and yes, fishing. If you didn't take my advise last year to go snowshoeing, you really missed out a fun activity that your whole family can do! Crater Lake offers Free, Ranger-Guided Snowshoe Hikes every Saturday & Sunday at 1:00 p.m. This event is going on now through the month of April The hikes cover a mile of moderately difficult terrain through forest, meadows and along the crater's rim, and last for about 90 minutes. This is so much fun and great exercise. If you don't have snowshoes, they will provide them free of charge, so you don't have any excuse. Make your reservation today by calling: 541-594-3100 2009 Citizens of the Year Shady Cove Mayor Ron Holthusen honors Citizens of the Year recipients, Pat Books, Mary Gunderlock and Christie Eggleston.

June Flag Day Dinner 2nd Annual Tie Days Father's Day for Dad Free Fishing Weekend Friends of the Library Reception	Flag Day, June 14th, marks the anniversary of the adoption by Congress in 1777 of the Stars and Stripes as emblem of the nation.
