Three Rivers, Lake Kaweah, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks Hero Appreciation Months

08/04/2017 By Leah Launey

My love affair with Three Rivers, Lake Kaweah, and Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks began in the 80s, when my family was introduced to the area by a friend who discovered it “just passing through.” Soon afterwards we began spending family vacations here, then it became every weekend we could manage! It was impractical to keep renting, so we found a beautiful plot of land with river access, and built our vacation home/future bed and breakfast. Eventually, we were here so often, we took the next step and moved to Three Rivers, finally starting the B&B in 2007.

I have always enjoyed cooking fancy breakfasts, and my family enjoys meeting people — especially those who appreciate Three Rivers and the Parks — so here was an opportunity for us to do both! No one in town had taken the name yet, so “Three Rivers Bed and Breakfast” was born.

In 2007, we created the chamber’s annual “Hero Appreciation Months” program. This program honors those who have served in the military or as a first responder, with special events, and discounts offered by local businesses, every January through March. We just celebrated our 10th annual, and look forward to celebrating many more!
