Easy Wind with Sundays at Midnight
Easy Wind has built a reputation of creating shows that pull deeply from the vibe and feel of classic ’70’s era Grateful Dead, a period when The Dead were firing on all cylinders of youth, exuberance, and creativity. Coming from a virtual lifetime of studying and performing their catalog, Easy Wind cooks up setlists that would fit right in with the epic runs of Europe ’72, Spring ’77, or any other magical runs of that era. Easy Wind has the unique ability to embody the style, the jams, and the riffs that were the trademark of Garcia, Weir, and the rest of the band in their heyday.
Easy Wind with Sundays at Midnight will be performing on Friday, July 19 from 7 p.m.-11 p.m. at the Crystal Bay Club.

Reforestation Volunteer Day at Boreal
Join Adventure Scientists for a Volunteer Field Day focused on regenerating our national forests. Western U.S. forests face challenges like wildfires and climate change, and reforestation is crucial. The U.S. Forest Service can only replant 20% of needed areas due to limited native seeds. Volunteers are needed to locate “cone crops” for seed collection.
Reforestation Volunteer Day will be on Saturday, July 20 from 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. at Boreal. The event at Boreal/Woodward Tahoe includes training to record cone crop data in Tahoe National Forest. This data supports reforestation efforts, and volunteers can continue this work independently after training.
