"What does Plumas County look like?" July 14. Plumas County has been notified of three additional cases of COVID-19 in a residents from the western part of Plumas County for a total of 20 cases. A case investigation is underway. These cases are from gatherings that were held during the 4th of July holiday weekend. Friends and family from different households and different counties met up during the holiday weekend and there are now new positive cases in multiple counties - Plumas County being just one. Local businesses have also been affected by these cases, whether through false rumors or misinformation being spread throughout the community. Gatherings are defined as meetings or other events that bring together persons from multiple households at the same time for a shared or group experience in a single room, space, or places such as an auditorium, stadium, arena, large conference room, meeting hall, or other indoor or outdoor space. The more people an individual interacts with at a gathering and the longer that interaction lasts, the higher the potential risk of becoming infected with COVID-19 and COVID19 spreading.

Box 1098 96020 Info@lakealmanorarea.com Join Us On Facebook Lake Almanor Area Chamber of Commerce Just for Fun Chelssa Outland We have all heard the phrase, "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream" what could be more appropriate for National Ice Cream Day on Sunday July 19th! While the phrase actually comes from a popular song released in the 1920's, the holiday was started in 1984 by former President Ronald Reagan when he declared July National Ice Cream Month. Statistics show that people who prefer ice cream on a cone tend to be more optimistic, while those who prefer a cup are more of a realist! I honestly think ice cream is best straight from the container, but to each their own. Happy National Ice Cream Day and don't forget to get some ices cream from a local business.
