The ARF staff and all of the four-leggeds wish our loyal community, friends, and visitors a Happy Thanksgiving. Reunited this week after taking a little stroll were Charlie and Bobby. Home for the holidays and staying warm in their very own beds is on every ARF animal’s wish list. This week, dreams came true for…
We’ve just begun the holiday seasons, Thanksgiving has passed, Christmas is only four weeks in the future, then the New Year arrives. While I shared our thanks with you last week, I’d like to continue stressing that sentiment and encourage you to combine it with the traditional Christmas practice of giving gifts. I’m sure you…
For Santa, readers and Honorable Mayor Max: I am “4-legged” and I speak for all my furry friends. I hear Christmas is approaching upon us. I would really like our community to know our holiday wish list. Enchance Idyllwild’s Doggie Park for us, our community and visitors. Please supply litter bags and containers throughout busy…
Having attended local meetings regarding the proposed Palms to Pines Scenic Byway, I would like to comment about the letter to editor on this topic in [the Nov. 22 issue of the Town Crier].

Next…

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope all our residents are enjoying a good day and time with family. For those who are traveling to family or friends in other cities or states, enjoy them and invite them to visit the Hill. I won’t write about all of the local festivals, such as the Idyllwild Cinema Festival in…
65 years ago – 1947 Mr. and Mrs. L.A. Carmen reminisced about the good old days in Idyllwild. They remembered Fern Valley as a fern-filled meadow without many trees, with cattle grazing in Round and Tahquitz valleys. 60 years ago – 1952 During a major snowstorm, Ada Morlan, Chamber secretary, left an evening committee meeting….
In last month’s column, Janice Fast brought us through the beginning of our community’s animal rescue history up to the late 1980s. Some of us fondly like to imagine that the next chapter started when a flame-haired, leather-clad woman roared into town on her Harley-Davidson, her saddlebacks stuffed with cats and dogs.
