Oakhurst LibraryLibrary Workshop – What’s There to Do Around Here?

If you’re a visitor to the area or a long-time resident who rarely ventures far from your front door, you might want to know “what IS there to do around here” besides the obvious trip to Yosemite?

Judi Hussain, visitor center coordinator for Visit Yosemite Madera County in Oakhurst, makes it her “mission” to know what’s going on in the area and will share her knowledge with the public at a special workshop at the Oakhurst Branch Library from 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturday, July 30, 2016.

Hussain covers things like where to hike or bike, where to find boating, fishing and swimming holes, where to take children, where Rover (the dog) can roam with you as well as tips and tricks for visiting Yosemite during the busy season.

“I address it all,” said Hussain, who has hiked most local trails as well as many in Yosemite.

Hussain invites people to bring their questions for an “interactive session of learning that can lead to adventures of a lifetime – or a weekend.

“Every time I think I’ve heard the strangest question ever, another pops up that I’ve never dreamed of. But, it’s a challenge I welcome,” she added.

Hussain promises that if she can’t answer a question on the spot, she’ll research it and get back to you.

Twenty-six years ago, Hussain took a family vacation to Bass Lake for the first time, bought a house that weekend and moved to the area four months later. For 11 years, she coordinated Road Scholar programs for a local conference center where her love for Yosemite and the Sierra National Forest were nurtured.

In her spare time, Hussain hikes, creates beaded jewelry, writes and “avidly” follows dog sled racing in Alaska, “my second favorite place on Earth.”

The workshop is a free event sponsored by the Friends of the Oakhurst Branch Library. It will be held in the Oakhurst Library’s Community Room located at 49044 Civic Circle Drive.
