Fine Arts and Crafts Fair, Homewood, July 4 – 7, 2013

If you’ll be up here in the greater Homewood area for the 4^th of July holiday weekend, don’t forget to check out the Fine Arts and Crafts Fair on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe this weekend.

You’ll find amazing artists and unique crafts and jewelry at the Pacific Fine Arts and Crafts festival this coming weekend, July 4, 5, 6, and 7, 2013 at the Homewood Ski Resort parking lot.

I really enjoy going from booth to booth looking for the special piece of art, pottery, jewelry, trinket, or unique item that will remind me later of when I purchased it. Call me sentimental, but I like looking around my rooms and seeing the special items that remind me of a vacation trip, a special friend, or a summer day here in Lake Tahoe.

I admire the talent it takes to create an original work of art. You’ll find jewelry, paintings, pottery, glassware, clothing, and so much more. You’ll discover some amazing treasures here in Lake Tahoe.

Located at the Homewood Ski Resort, 5441, West Lake Blvd., Homewood, California, you’ll want to stop and see all of the items for sale, along with just being here in Lake Tahoe.

The Fine Arts and Crafts Fair in Homewood is free to the public.

The Chambers Landing area is known as “Chamberlands”, with the condominium development officially having the name Chambers Landing.

The Chambers Landing – Chamberlands neighborhood area is a charming Tahoe neighborhood, which has a mix of smaller, older Tahoe Cabins, along with larger, newer luxury mountain homes.

Those owners that have a full Chambers Landing Club Membership have access to the Chambers Landing lakeside pool, private beach area, use of the pier, and tennis courts.

A full Chambers Landing Club membership adds significant market value to a property to a comparable property that does not have the membership, and is a highly desirable area on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe.

Membership is restricted by geography to Chambers Landing/Chamberlands, or the Chamberlands Addition. If a home is located in these subdivisions and if the property does not already have a full Chambers Landing Club membership, there are full Chambers Landings Club memberships available for sale with a buy-in price of approximately $50,000 as of the summer 2013.

The entire Chambers Landing area is either walking distance, or a short bike, or car ride to the beach area. All property owners can use the public beach area at Chambers Landing, so if you don’t have the full membership you can still have access to Lake Tahoe here.

Chambers Landing was established in the late 1800’s and is a well-known landmark in Lake Tahoe. Perhaps you’ve had a Chambers Punch at the Chambers Bar and Grill?
