LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Saturday, June 22, will be the 10th annual “Country Trails Open Houses,” when homes for sale throughout the county will be held open.
Beginning at 11 a.m. and continuing on until 5 p.m., up to 30 homes will be held open for up to two hours each.
The event is free.
A drawing for an MP3 will be held and visitors can enter at each home they are visit.
“Country Trails has evolved to be Lake County's largest real estate marketing event of the year,” said Phil Smoley, broker of CPS County Air Properties. “We came up with the idea back in 2003, and since then we have held open more than 1,000 houses during the event.”
Few agents do open houses in Lake County any more, but when done correctly, they can still be beneficial to both buyers and sellers, according to Smoley.
“All companies are able to hold their listings open on this day, but Country Trails has evolved into pretty much an exclusive of CPS Country Air,” said Smoley. “It is a great opportunity to see a variety of homes in one afternoon.”
A final open house list will not be posted until 6 p.m. Friday, June 21.
For more information, attendees should go to www.CountryAir.com .

CLEARLAKE OAKS, Calif. – In the inaugural Press Democrat North Coast Wine Challenge judged last week in Santa Rosa, wineries from Napa, Sonoma, Lake and Mendocino counties competed in the hopes that their wines would garner top recognition.
With 930 wines competing, Cache Creek Vineyards & Winery is thrilled and proud that their 2011 Reserve Chardonnay received a gold medal.
“When there are so many big name wineries competing, it is especially gratifying when a small production, family owned winery like Cache Creek Vineyards is recognized,”said Linda Glover of Cache Creek Vineyards. “With construction of our tasting about to commence, and wine lovers taking notice of Lake County’s friendly and blossoming wine region, there is much to be excited about.”
The Press Democrat will host a public tasting of the winning wines on July 14 at Santa Rosa Junior College's Shone Farm near Forestville. For tickets or information email
