Thank you everyone who came out to celebrate Sandy and all her accomplishments. Thanks to Oakhurst Sierra Rotary for their work for many, many years along the parkway as well. What an incredible community!

We don’t need a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow when we already live in a place like this! 🍀

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from all of us at the Eastern Madera County Foundation! Today, we’re taking a moment to celebrate just how lucky we are to call this beautiful corner of the world home.

Whether you’re enjoying the quiet beauty of North Fork, the lakeside vibes of Bass Lake, the historic charm of Coarsegold, or the bustling heart of Oakhurst, there is so much to be grateful for. Our mountain communities are filled with incredible people, talented artists, and small businesses that make this area truly shine.

We feel incredibly fortunate to work alongside all of you to keep our towns vibrant and connected. Cheers to the luck of the mountain life!

Hey mountain friends! ❄️ While the fresh snow makes our home in Eastern Madera County look like a total winter wonderland, it also means we need to take a little extra care on the roads. If you're heading out on Highway 41 or Highway 49, make sure you're prepared for the conditions!

CalTrans often implements chain requirements during these storms to keep everyone safe. Here’s a quick refresher on the levels:

🚗 R1: Chains required on all vehicles except passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks with snow tires on at least two drive wheels.
🚗 R2: Chains required on all vehicles except 4WD and AWD vehicles with snow-tread tires on all four wheels.
🚗 R3: Chains required on all vehicles: no exceptions!

Even if you have 4WD, remember that you're still required to carry chains in your vehicle when traveling through chain control areas. It’s always better to be prepared!

Stay safe out there and enjoy the cozy vibes. Before you head out, check the Caltrans QuickMap or call 1-800-427-7623 for real-time updates.

Safe travels through Oakhurst, Coarsegold, North Fork, and Bass Lake! 🏔️✨
