We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Fritz Stansell, founder and president emeritus of the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. Fritz Stansell was also one of the original founders of the Falcone Festival and had an incredible impact on the music world. Our most sincere condolences to the Stansell family and BLFAC community during these difficult times.Daily Events

EVERY ONE OF THESE TABLES THAT STILL HAS THE GREEN TOP HAS BEEN MODIFIED ONE OR MORE TIMES, NOTHING WITH A 2025 DATE ON IT WORKS. THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE TO WHAT I HAVE FINALLY COME UP WITH WOULD BE FOR THIS PAGE TO HAVE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LAYOUT, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT WOULD BE
* Events open to the general public
This "final-ish" version of Sunday 2024 (below) I made the font smaller (8 pt was as small as it would let me). The table was done clean, putting actual data into each cell of a new "vanilla" table. I fixed a myriad of formatting issues. I don't know if it made enough of a difference, but it fits on my phone screen without having to slide left to see the end of each row.
