Boy Scouts honor Sprig Electric founder with a hoedown at Levi’s Stadium

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 07:55:31 GMT

The Distinguished Citizen Dinner, a fundraiser for the Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council of the Boy Scouts of America, has recently tended to lean into the personality of the honoree. There have been rock ‘n’ roll shows, carnivals and art-oriented soirees. So to honor Spring Electric founder Pepper Snyder, it made sense that the 49th annual event at Levi’s Stadium was a regular hoedown.There were cowboy boots and hats galore, lots of denim and quite a bit of fringe on display from the 275 guests at the stadium’s swanky BNY Mellon Club. And in case the message wasn’t received that Snyder, the longtime president of the Grassland Water District in Los Banos, didn’t want some stuffy dinner in his honor, the event was rebranded as the Distinguished Citizen Party.Country music singer and songwriter Mitch Rossell performs at Levi’s Stadium for the Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council of the Boy Scouts of America’s Distinguished Citizen Party...

Warriors: Chris Paul, Andrew Wiggins probable to play against Portland

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 07:55:31 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Chris Paul and Andrew Wiggins are expected to play Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.Paul, 38, sat out the Warriors’ last two games against the Los Angeles Clippers with a left leg nerve contusion that sidelined him early in the Warriors’ meltdown loss to the Sacramento Kings last week. Wiggins, 28, sat out the two Clippers games after slamming his index finger in a car door on Thursday morning.Both came out unscathed after a Tuesday practice, which included a light scrimmage, Kerr said.The Warriors split their two-game home-and-home series with Clippers, their loss in Los Angeles the product of a blown 22-point lead in the second half. But in Paul, Wiggins and Gary Payton II’s injury absences emerged an opportunity for bench players who’d fallen out of the rotation to shine.Payton is out with a strained calf suffered in Sacramento until at least Thursday, though his absence could be longer.The ...
