Customized Vendor Items
Many of our vendors offer customized items. Your True Nature makes bookmarks with sayings about life; they made a Mt. Tallac one for us; stand tall and proud, rise above it all, get to the point… Maple Landmark made a custom logging truck in honor of the Pope family logging business.

Each year since the mid-1990s the Tahoe Heritage Foundation has commissioned a poster for the Gatsby Festival.
