Lake Tahoe has it’s own awesome writing event right on the shore of Lake Tahoe this coming weekend, October 21-22nd. Lake Tahoe Word Wave is a shouldn’t be missed event for anyone interested in writing and reading. In addition to enjoying interesting and informative presentations, you get to hang out at the spectacular setting which is Valhalla: A classic old Tahoe retreat on the quiet, lovely grounds which once housed the Baldwin Hotel. It is located between Camp Richardson and Taylor Creek.
The festivities begin on the evening of Friday October 21st with a Tall Timber Ball at Valhalla’s Grand Hall.
On Saturday, October 22nd there is a full schedule of events including:
