Topping the list was our star sponsor, Hidden Valley Lake Community Services District (HVLCSD).
HVL CSD provided our event t-shirts, which promoted their water-awareness campaign, along with the popular race bags.
Our other star sponsor, Crazy Creek Gliderport, provided and prepared the gorgeous, unique venue where the event took place.
Next up were silver sponsors Hardester’s Markets and Happy Smiles Dental Practice, which have both faithfully supported Spring Has Sprung since its inception in 2003. The Milers also were thrilled to have St. Helena Hospital Clearlake Adventist Health on board as a silver sponsor this year. The sunblock they gave to each race bag was a crowd-pleaser.
Repeat bronze sponsors Hidden Valley Food Mart (home of the Famous Breakfast Burrito), Airport Auto Brokers (Lakeport), Hidden Valley Auto Body and Langtry Estate Vineyards and Winery (which donated wine) are much appreciated.
New bronze sponsors this year were Morgan Lane Real Estate (which donated pens for each race bag), Century 21 and Chic Le Chef catering of Hidden Valley Lake, whose pre- and post-race snacks were a big hit.
I would also like to thank Tina Chiotti-Stewart of Middletown Florist and Gifts for donating our photo-trophies, Carol Christe of HVL for providing post-race massages, and Gary Nylander, owner of the Oaks Red & White Store, for donating two cases of fruit for our event.
Rob Roy Golf Course provided 18 holes of golf for two and a golf cart, awarded to the male winner of the 10K race. Twin Pine Casino donated a $50 dining gift certificate, awarded to the female winner of the 10K race.
The support of the above businesses enabled the Milers to execute another premier event, drawing participants from numerous counties. As a result, the Milers were able to give $1,100 to nonprofit “Operation Tango Mike,” whose mission is to send care packages to our troops overseas. Without the 19 volunteers from Tango Mike, the Milers couldn’t have pulled off the event as we did, and they deserve our support in return.
Thanks again, Lake County businesses. We appreciate you.
Jeanine Burnett is president and race director for the Lake County Milers. She lives in Hidden Valley Lake.

The Luau on the Lake on June 6 was a great fundraiser for both the Clear Lake and Lakeport Chambers. It was a pleasure working together with Lakeport Chamber to put on this fun event!
The Clear Lake Chamber used this event to raise funds toward the city of Clearlake’s fireworks, which will be held Saturday, July 4. The best place to view the fireworks will be at Austin Park where all of the day’s festivities will be held including the carnival, a car show, kinetic sculpture race, the International Worm Races, arts and craft booths, food and more.
Every event takes a group of people to ensure its success; the Luau on the Lake was no exception. Please be sure to shop and personally thank the following businesses for their support of this year’s fireworks fundraiser at Luau on the Lake:
