Palomar Mountain News

More snake stories have come my way this year than ever before.  Matt Bailey was wearing steel toes boots when a rattler chomped onto the toe of his boot.  Glad that 37 incher didn’t get through to his foot.  Other stories include our weed eater guys coming across “the biggest one he’d ever seen” on Palomar.  And, we got a baby up by our place.  Keeping a watchful eye out on the mom, dad, and siblings… Can’t be too careful!  Click for an article telling about more bites reported this year than ever before.

Have dogs?  There is Rattlesnake avoidance training available at High on Kennels.   I spoke to the owner the other day who also cautions parents to talk to their children about wearing boots and jeans in this weather, not putting their hands into holes, really watching out for snakes and running like crazy if they see one.

We’re the land of the free because of the brave.

May you all have a dazzling day with family and friends!

Everyone once in a while over the past few years, you can see Bob and Listy Gillingham training on Palomar for their next big race.  They have a weekend cabin here and love to run at this altitude to be in shape for their next Marathon.

Alas, Listy broke her leg in March with the Rock ‘N Roll 26.2 mile Marathon less than three months away!   Read all about it in this UT San Diego article.  

What an inspiration to see her with a big smile on her face during race!  And, Listy even finished under the predicted time at 6:32.

Listy!  You Rock!  We all look forward to cheering you on, running again on Palomar Mountain!

We are looking for vendors for the Annual PMVFD BBQ on Saturday, September 1st.  Would that be YOU, or someone you know that you could forward this message to?

Are you an artist looking for a relaxing, fun day to show and sell your art?  Do you have a craft you would like to market to the mountain folks at this annual event?  Do you make jewelery, soap, or wonderful accessories for mountain cabins and homes?  Is your craft made of aged mountain oak, apple, walnut or cedar wood?   Can hardly wait to see your creations!

Who is going to do some chain saw art?  Bears, welcome signs, fun mountain stuff!  Let’s do it and doll up our cabins!!

Do you sell a speciality food item?  Roast coffee?  Make salt-water taffy?  A family recipe for toffee that no one can have just one bite of?  Come on out and have a booth for a day!

Would you like to host a re-sale booth of fabulous bargains, irresistible to your mountain neighbors?  Shabby chic, vintage, or simply amazing.  Glad to reserve your booth location!

How about some of those products that sell best by word of mouth?  Something that you could show and sell in a few minutes in a street fair atmosphere?

We are looking for booths of all types to give great exposure to the vendors and add interest to our PMVFD Fund Raiser.

Simply connect with Danielle, then mark Saturday, September 1st on your calendar!
