Families drove around the grounds and were treated to trunks full of candy and fun and spooky vignettes. By 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 31, the location was full and could not take any more cars driving through. — (Courtesy Ely Stage Stop) On Halloween, the Ely Stage Stop hosted the Clear Lake Riviera Community Associations’ “Trunk or Treat.” Families drove around the grounds and were treated to trunks full of candy and fun and spooky vignettes.

LAKE COUNTY>> As we fell back further into the autumn season, Lake County was greeted by the changing foliage of trees and the natural colors associated with this time of year. The big ticket news items this week was, of course, the Nov. 3 General Election where a number of state and local races will directly impact the county and California for the next four years and beyond, but COVID-19 was also in the headlines as Gov. Gavin Newsom pledged more testing with a new lab. But before all the Election Day hoopla the county’s residents, especially the young trick or treaters were greeted with a number of events to celebrate the popular holiday including the Ely Stage Stop and the Moose Lodge in Clearlake Oaks.
