Mountain Affair Celebrates Community Resilience

The Mountain Farm Festival will take place at Hardman Farm State Historic Site on October 26, providing attendees with a chance to experience 19th-century mountain life through hands-on activities and demonstrations, including making apple cider and traditional crafts. Meanwhile, the 'Stuff the Sprinter: Mountain Strong' event on October 20 aims to gather donations for Hurricane Helene relief, featuring a free concert by local band The Deep Fakes and activities for families. In Nepal, mountaineers celebrated remarkable achievements, including Nimsdai Purja setting new records in summiting 14 peaks without supplemental oxygen and honoring fellow climbers for their accomplishments. Additionally, the 'Badges with Buckets' fundraiser will be held at Starbucks locations across several counties in California to support the Special Olympics. Lastly, tickets are now available for the 39th Annual Mountain Affair on October 25, which will benefit Mountain Community Resources and celebrate community volunteerism and support local essential services.
