This year, the Tanner Family, long-standing members of the Eastern Sierra community, were selected as Grand Marshals for the 4th of July Parade. Sadly, Bobby Tanner, the second-generation owner of Red’s Meadow Resort and Pack Station, as well as Rock Creek Lodge, recently passed away. The Chamber will be paying a tribute to him at the beginning of the Parade. His wife Claudia and their son Bo will honor Bobby by leading a Riderless Horse, followed by a procession of friends and family. Join us in commemorating Bobby Tanner in a way that is fitting to his lifetime dedicated to the community. Learn more about the family HERE
