Greetings!

We hope you had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. We're back in beautiful Three Rivers, the gateway to Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks! We're going to be busy filming and recording radio interviews, and of course, we'll be spending quality time in Kings Canyon National Park!

Today's edition covers California fall travel and event destinations, how to give and receive a wedding toast, a 'tipsy' make-ahead holiday pudding, and gardening with water-saving succulents!

Keep up with all our upcoming Big Blend Radio Shows and Big Blend Spirit of America Tour of all 401 National Park units by following us on Twitter and Facebook.

Happy September!
