Camping Yurts Available at Shasta Lake
Three Yurts are available in Lakeshore East Campground overlooking the Sacramento arm of Shasta Lake. Though generally classified as a tent, a yurt is a modern adaptation of an ancient shelter used by nomads for centuries. Each adorable yurt is furnished to sleep 5 with one futon bed and one twin over full bunk bed. Mattresses are provided, but please bring your own bedding. Each of these yurt sites will continue to provide tent pads and parking to accommodate RV's. What better way to spend the night outdoors while sleeping comfortably!

New Soccer Park Opens in Redding
The Redding Soccer Park opened its gates this last weekend. This 10.2 million dollar , 22-acre complex is a one-of-a-kind, "State-of-the-Sport" soccer facility boasts four, all-weather, synthetic-turf NCAA regulation sized, lighted fields. All weather means this is the only soccer complex in California that can realistically say "Your tournament will never be cancelled because of rain at our venue". The complex has a full restaurant, with over 2000 square feet of covered seating, a play area for the younger "tag along" fans, with slides, climbing walls and other features to keep them busy during the games. In addition to the restaurant area there's an administration building with a pro-shop for last minute playing needs, and classroom for instruction and team meetings. Events held at the new park like the one held opening weekend, have a very positive impact on hotel occupancy. The tournament brought over 700 visitors to Redding, and accounted for about 500 room nights in the Redding area hotels. The local economic impact from one tournament can be in excess of $100,000.00.
