It’s been a busy week in Twain Harte, especially now that the heat has let up — at least temporarily. It was a blissful 90° yesterday.
This weekend the town will swell for the 24th Annual Twain Harte Summer Arts & Wine Festival being held July 24-25, in downtown Twain Harte. Folks will enjoy arts and crafts, live entertainment, dancing, wine tasting and food. Want more information? Call (209) 533-3473.
I’ve been adding new pictures to the Twain Harte Times Photo Gallery and plan to add many more in the days and weeks to come. I just love this new blog. So, be sure to check back often.

Exciting news, Twain-Harte.info has moved to a new location, with a new look and the best news, it’s interactive, so you can participate too.
The hubby and I have been talking about moving Twain-Harte.info for a long time now and just when I had about given up, Shawn surprises me with a brand new blog on a domain we’ve been sitting on for ages. So, be sure to bookmark this new site. It will have the same Twain Harte content, pictures and information but with an entirely different look and more functionality. I’m so excited.
I invite you to look around and post your comments. Some of you may remember the old Twain Harte Times, it was the predecessor to the Sierra Mountain Times, now owned by our good friend Tim McCaffrey. The Twain Harte Times has been dead for quite sometime now, so we felt it was time for a comeback. I’ll be posting my comments and sharing my adventures as usual. We don’t have the news page moved over yet, but it will soon find a new home here too.
Once the conversion is complete, Twain-Harte.info will be redirected to this new site, until it is sold.
Not quite noon and already it’s a balmy 96° here in Twain Harte. The third day in a row of over 100° temperatures, forecasts are calling for another scorcher tomorrow.
This is a perfect time to make a run to Pinecrest or Strawberry, where supposedly it will be a cool 90° today and tomorrow. I’m sorely tempted to make a run up the hill to check it out for myself. The river flowing through Kennedy Meadows has ice cold water that is sure to provide relief from the heat.
Normally a pretty quiet community, I was surprised to learn that Thursday evening around 11 p.m. or so, a fist fight was observed in front of Ed’s Bar, on the main drag — apparently the heat doesn’t agree with everyone, causing tempers to flare.
Since most area homes here aren’t equipped with air conditioning, keeping cool can be an issue, especially for the elderly or infirmed. You’ll find some helpful tips from Earth Talk on how to keep cool without an air conditioning unit here. Remember to drink lots of water folks.
