Today both Strawberry and Tuolumne County communities are mourning the loss of our dear friend Richard Burleigh. You may remember him and his joyful smile from the coffee booth, but Richard is responsible for bringing art and music to our mountain home for over 30 years as organizer of Fire on the Mountain and founder of the Christmas Crafts Fair, the Sonora Blues Festival and more. Richard was the first to offer a warm welcome to Strawberry into this community, and he will be missed dearly.
