The Big Sur Grange Committee has just posted a notice that the Grange will be closed for the rest of the winter.
An alternate location is currently being sought for the Craft Fair, previously scheduled for November 29th and 30th at the Grange. For questions about the craft fair, or if you have a suggestion for a new location, please contact Teresa Sutton at:

From The Big Sur Grange Committee:
On Thursday night, 11/6 the Big Sur Grange Committee met and made the decision to close the Grange for safety reasons. We know how important this community hall is to the families of Big Sur. Even more important is the safety of each family member.
If there is precipitation anywhere in the watershed east of Highway 1, even while the sun is shining in the valley, the debris flow freight train will start rolling down Juan Higuera Creek. Those who have experienced, or seen tapes, of the strength, rapidity, and sudden onset of these overflows know how dangerous they are. We will not risk the lives of our children, friends and neighbors.
Having made this decision we now can focus, totally, on how to protect and save our Grange building for future meetings, celebrations, shows and pot-luck dinners. The process is open to everyone. Keep checking the websites as we gather information and develop our plans.
No reservations for the use of the Grange hall will be accepted until further notice.
