The upcoming "At The Table: Lunch with the Candidates" event is nearing its capacity, offering a final opportunity for community members to engage directly with all eight Mammoth Lakes Town Council candidates. The event is scheduled for tomorrow, September 29, from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM, and will take place at Burgers. Attendees will participate in a moderated discussion with the candidates, followed by a direct question-and-answer session.
Due to anticipated demand and room capacity, individuals planning to attend are strongly encouraged to register immediately. Organizers anticipate reaching full capacity quickly, at which point further registrations will not be possible. For those unable to attend in person, the candidates' introductions and the full moderated Q&A segment of the discussion will be recorded. This recording will subsequently be uploaded to the Chamber’s YouTube channel, providing an accessible alternative for the community to review the candidates' positions and responses.
Simultaneously, tickets for the 10th Annual Business Excellence Awards Gala are now on sale. This annual celebration is scheduled for November 5 at Canyon Lodge. The event has a history of selling out each year, prompting organizers to advise those interested in attending to secure their tickets promptly. This year's Gala welcomes Limelight Mammoth as its Title Sponsor.
Local businesses interested in gaining visibility still have opportunities to participate through sponsorship. Several sponsorship slots have already been claimed, indicating strong interest, but some opportunities remain available. Businesses can also contribute to the event by donating raffle prizes, which provides another avenue for highlighting their involvement and services during the Gala. These participation options offer local businesses a chance to support a significant community event while increasing their presence within Mammoth Lakes and Mono County.
Beyond these key events, the community calendar includes a variety of ongoing activities. Weekly Trivia Night continues to be held at Mammoth Brewing Co. and The EATery. Shelter Distilling will feature live music performances by Cassie Dunn. The Lee Vining Community Center is slated to host a Community Services Solutions Food Distribution event, catering to local needs.
For those seeking wellness and outdoor activities, there are multiple offerings. Public Sauna + Cold Plunge sessions are available at Outside Bar Sierra. An InSpire Fitness Fall Hike Adventure is planned to depart from the Reversed Peak Trailhead near June Lake. Additionally, South Lawn at Outbound will host Sunrise and Sunset Yoga Sessions, offering options for different times of day.
Community support and appreciation events are also planned. LA Kings Ice at Mammoth Lakes will host a "Service Above Self Skate-A-Thon," encouraging community participation. Furthermore, a First Responders Appreciation BBQ is scheduled to take place at the Mono Inn, acknowledging the vital work of emergency personnel in the region. These diverse events contribute to the vibrant social fabric of Mammoth Lakes and the surrounding Mono County.
