Cazadero Communications by Natasha Pehrson - June 2017
After a mid-May showery day, the view outside of my cosy cyber-hut encompasses clear skies and sunshine! I especially appreciate the lingering light, with full dark not until 8:30 p.m. I seem to have more time (an illusion,perhaps).
There is a lot happening in our special corner of the world.
Frank Eggers tells me that Cazadero Winery has just won another gold medal and was awarded 93 Points for its 2014 Bei Ranch Sonoma Coast Chardonnay at the prestigious 2017 Monterey International Wine Competition. This makes 41 gold and silver medals since Cazadero Winery came on the market 5 years ago. Congratulations, Caz grapes have scored again!
This will be the last bit of news from Montgomery School for this year as Summer awaits! On June 2nd the whole school will partner with Ft. Ross School to have a Field Day and a BBQ lunch at MES. A group of volunteer parents will come to the school and set up physical challenges for students to complete. They are grouped into teams and will participate in team-building activities during the morning. There will be a BBQ lunch and the afternoon will be spent with events such as hula-hoop race, bucket brigade, relay races.
Of course the big June event is the 8th grade graduation of the two graduates Gage Anderson and Ismail Martino, which will be at 7 p.m. on Wednesday June 7th These two fine young men will shine at El Molino High School. If you have a child that is ready to enter Transitional Kindergarten and/or Kindergarten now is the time to enroll them. You can call the school office at 632-5221 if you have any questions. The MES School year 2017-2018 starts up again on Wednesday, August 23rd.
A happy crowd was on hand for the official U.S. Postal Service installation of Cazadero Postmaster Evelyn Williams on May 11th, despite a persistent drizzle. The SF District Administrator recited the Oath, while many former and current P.O. employees helped to honor Evelyn. Beautiful flowers were given by the Cazadero Community Cluband others, with delicious cookies form Raymond’s for all.
I recently attended the always pleasant Pole Mountain Lookout breakfast and was told that over 200 were served!

If you are catching up with Spring projects, remember Cazadero Supply for the 1st Saturday 15% Discount Day, with a myriad of useful items for your garden, household and vehicular needs.
Raymond’s Bakery continues its Friday Night Pizza and Music Nights-lots of fun! Do check out the Cazadero and Duncans Mills General Stores for daily groceries and many locally produced specialty items, including meats, wine and body products. Mr. Trombly’s Teas iin Duncans Mills is terrific and I recommend making cold tea for the warm weather.
