Several businesses in Clearlake have decorated beautifully for the holidays. The winner of the contest is Marlene Wentz EA and Associates, located at 15332 Lakeshore Drive. They received a fun employee gift pack complete with munchies and snackas that will keep them energized through tax season!
One of my favorite things to do after a good dinner at a local restaurant is to drive around looking at Christmas lights. The businesses in the area have done a great job at decorating for the community this holiday season.
Here are a few other business to view: Church of God, Lakeshore Barber and the Dog Groomers, Girlfriends, Griffin's Furniture, Your Hair Again (across from Big O Tire), Melissa Fanning, Cactus Grill, Kevin Ness, Sunset Fishing Resort, Lisa's Clothing, Wild About Books, Rite Aid, Cabo's Mexican Restaurant and Four Corners.
There have been many other businesses that have added lights and decorations to their building since our contest deadline. So, sit back and enjoy the scenery while driving through our town at night!
Lori Peters is executive director of the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce.

COBB – The Lake County Association of Realtors held its annual awards night and installation of officers at Rob Roy Golf Club, Saturday evening, Dec. 6.
It was a wonderful evening enjoyed by Realtors and affiliates from all of Lake County with excellent food and wines.
A silent auction was held reaping in over $1,730 for the scholarship fund for Lake County students sponsored by the Realtors each year.
Past President Larry Heine discussed the many issues facing Lake County and was highly optimistic for the future of the county.
Highlight of the evening was the award to Dorothy Bowen who arrived with her son Harlan Bowen, a local contractor.
Dorothy Bowen received the Hazel Pluth Award for her many, many years of outstanding service to her community and fellow Realtors.
Now in her 90s, Dorothy Bowen was the broker and owner of Bowen and Associates in Kelseyville until she retired in 2003.
Other Awards were: Agent of the Year – Tom Pelandini, CPS; and Affiliate of the Year – Laura Youles, Fidelity National Title.
Officers installed were President Leonard Lea; President Elect Anita McKee; Past President Larry Heine; Directors Victoria Gindele, Tom Pelandini, Linda Lindeblad, Rick White, Kat MacDowell, Elizabeth Davis, Mary Benson, Janie Ultsch, Cheryl Marinaro and Anna Macomber.
“I am honored to be President of this, The Lake County Realtor Association in its 62nd year,” Lea said. “It is the local Realtor Association that 'walks the walk,' so to speak. We work here, hire local people at the association and contribute back to the community in many ways with Scholarship Awards. LCAOR helps many with the canned food drive, supporting local events such as the political debates and issues facing Lake County.”
“As we face another tough year in jobs and sales in every corner of the real estate market, and other aspects of business in Lake County, it is nice to count on your neighbors for past and future business as we work our way through the dips in the road.”
Lea said LCAOR will continue to work for all of Lake County businesses, always keeping its eye on the next 62 years … not just today’s sale.
“Most of all, I am thankful for being able to enjoy Paradise every day here in Lake County and I look forward to keeping it that way for the generations to come,” Lea added.

The very personable winemaker Brian Kane was present as host for the event, pouring his new offerings with friendly conversation and lots of information.
Kane had two new wines to add to his roster. The first was called the Gypsy Blanc, a partner to Sol Rouge’s Gypsy. This blend is tart but smooth, a great complement to whitefish or pasta Alfredo.
The second was a new Lake County Syrah. This is the first time Kane has produced a Syrah made from only Lake County Syrah grapes, and it is full-bodied and delicious.
Both new releases are excellent additions to his impressive but select group of wines.
The Lake County Wine Studio in Upper Lake is a lovely space to host such an event, and offered live music from a trio called Blue Collar.
They also present wines from other Lake County wineries and display art from Lake County artists as well. Saturday’s event was a fundraiser, with the proceeds going towards the county’s purchase of Mt. Konocti for public use.
If the county is successful in purchasing this large tract of land, for the first time ever it will be open to the public for recreational use and will include a network of non-motorized trails. Donations are tax-deductible and can be made at www.preservekonocti.org.
