"It is a pleasure to extend my greetings to all those gathered for your Spring Fling.
"I applaud your efforts to bring your residents together for some fun. With a variety of entertainment, food, and much more, I have no doubt that all those in attendance will have a fantastic time and take pride in the great sense of community you have helped to create.
"My thanks to all those who made this wonderful event possible. They each deserve a big hand for their actions to strengthen friendships, and I commend them for their hard work.
"On behalf of all Californians, I send my best wishes for a memorable day and every continued success."
Sincerely,
Arnold Schwarzenegger
How did Governor Schwarzenegger know that this extraordinary event was taking place – let alone what it entailed?
Keller either told him or had him read the Squidoo lens that is online promoting the event. In fact, Keller himself posted a very nice comment to the Squidoo lens' Guest Book concerning the Spring Fling – along with many other folks from around the world.
This letter should be regarded as a keepsake for all residents of Lake County. It documents a "memory-maker" – a special moment in history – especially for those who attended the festival or helped to make it possible.

Who knows? The next time the Hardester's Shopping Center has a special event, we just might have a special guest from Sacramento paying us a visit.

Master seamstress and costume maker Margaret Retherford – who has provided garments for Dickens Fairs, Wild West Days, theme weddings and several other events in Lake County – recently opened her own women’s clothing boutique.
The Virtuous Woman, inspired from the bible where a virtuous woman is described as a woman of success. So of course a successful woman would want to buy clothing that will show her success.
With Retherford’s many years of experience in the clothing industry she handpicks every item for the shop and most of her customers rave on her garment choices.
Among the items for sale are some of Retherford’s own creations along with a wide variety of fashion clothing from small to 3-extra larger. Much of the inventory is USA-made with some well known brand names. Also for sale is a very exquisite line of American Indian jewelry
Retherford feels that because of the current economics, she has priced all garments to fit the most modest of budgets.
Come discover this new clothing, jewelry and gift store, and be dazzled.
The Virtuous Woman is located in historic downtown Upper Lake's Main Street Mall, 9495 Main St., Suite No. 9.
