Community Scarecrow Contest

The Lake Almanor Area Chamber has brought back the Scarecrow Contest. The Chamber is asking businesses to join us in celebrations for the fall by participating in the scarecrow contest. The entry fee for the scarecrow contest goes toward prizes for the costume contest, while the judging of the scarecrows takes place online as a fundraiser to support the Chamber and our planning for the Town Plaza.

Scarecrows will be judged online by members of the community! Judging closes at 5pm October 31st. The winner will get an award recognizing community participation and spirit, a photo will be taken and posted to various social media accounts and more.

We have also invited businesses that do not have a main street or storefront location to participate. (Contact Chelssa at Chelssa@lakealmanorarea.com to find out more information)

Entry fees from the competition go to prizes for the Merchants Trick or Treat Costume Contest!

Town Coffee To A Town Plaza

Our first Town Coffee took place on September 25 at the Coffee Station to discuss the potential of a Town Plaza for year round activities in Chester. We had many excited people come to explore the idea. From that beginning came a second meetin on October 16 with over 20 people in attendance from the entire Lake Almanor Community. Notes from the October meeting are here.

Future Town Coffees will take place with community leaders on a variety of topics. If you have a topic you would like to hear, or discuss contact the chamber at Chelssa@lakealmanorarea.com

From Fall to Winter

There is so much to do, see, experience and take part in this season and next.
Check out our event posters and our Chamber October page with all you need to know.

Close out this October with a craft fair followed by Merchant Trick or Treat, the holloween costume contest, judging your favorite scarecrow and the Lake Almanor Community Church Harvest Festival.

Then break into November with the beginning of Tree Cutting in Lassen and Plumas Forests, Lake Almanor to Indian Valley Holiday Shopping Tour and the Community Peace Tree lighting.

The Lake Almanor Area Chamber and the Lake Almanor Community Foundation have come together to co-sponsor the Almanor Basin Community Consortium (ABCC). Invitations have gone out to community leaders to participate in an introductory event for the consortium that will eventually encompass semi-annual round table discussions. The goal? Pretty simple.
