Sierra Lodestar is a weekly entertainment and recreation magazine that reaches as many as 50,000 readers in California’s Mother Lode. The team of writers, editors and graphic artists responsible for crafting the first Lodestar in March 2009 continue to fill each issue with well-written columns and feature articles that celebrate what is unique about the western slope of the central Sierra; its physical beauty, culture, lifestyle, history and varied recreation and entertainment choices.

 An annual "Best of the Mother Lode" issue tallies the votes of Sierra Lodestar readers for their favorite events, places, services, stores, restaurants, lodging and other entertainment and recreation options in each of the Mother Lode counties. Other special sections throughout the year provide coverage of county fairs and important holidays.

Copies of each issue of Sierra Lodestar are available free of charge through a system of more than 500 outdoor and indoor racks located at high traffic areas and business premises throughout the Mother Lode. In November 2011, the area of distribution was expanded to include the cities of Oakdale and Escalon, which together form the southern gateway to the Mother Lode.

Sometime in 2012, a separate website for Sierra Lodestar will appear at this domain. Until then, a complete e-edition of each Sierra Lodestar can be read online at the website of its sister publication, the Calaveras Enterprise. That website, www.calaverasenterprise.com also contains additional information to help you locate print copies of Sierra Lodestar, submit comments or calendar items, and obtain advice on the advertising options it offers.
