Big Bopper Bash on August 24th |
|
|
The Big Bopper Bash is just weeks away! We hope all are ready with cat eye glasses, blue suede shoes and ready to dance to the tunes of the 50s. This has been an unsettling time for all in Plumas County with the Gold Complex and Park fires. With this in mind, the foundation will be offering Sally Yosts’ original, 2008 “Drakesbad Campground” as a live auction item with monies raised going to the Wildfire Relief Fund. This fund was established within five days of the Dixie Fire and has raised over $1 million. A grant of $2500 has already been given to Plumas Rural Services for those in need. If you haven’t gotten your ticket to join us for a “swell time,” visit their website to purchase. |

Updates Continue for Tourists from Feather River Tourism Association |
|
|
Quincy, CA 8-6-24. . . Feather River Tourism Association always welcome guests to the area but their safety is the association’s first priority. Through social media FRTA has continued to update tourists who have made vacation plans to let them know the status of the area, beginning first with the Gold Complex Fire and continuing with the Park Fire.
“Since the Park Fire we have added up dates to include links to Cal-Trans for road closures and links regarding the air quality. We have also strongly advised travelers to check with their lodging provider,” says Susan Bryner, chair. “Since many come to Plumas County for outdoor recreation, we do not want to encourage people to do outdoor activities that would be hazardous to their health. We also don’t want them to have a bad experience while visiting our beautiful area,” she adds.
With the Park Fire slowly being contained and forecasts seemingly improving, the hope is that the season is not over for the area. FRTA encourages locals to shop, dine or order take out to support the community businesses. Though FRTA is doing a lot to market the county as a four-season destination, until that happens, we are dependent on our summer months to keep our businesses thriving.

First Town-to-Town Connection Under Construction |
|
|
|
The SBTS Pro Trail Crew is working this season to complete the first town-to-town connection of the Connected Communities Project: a 13-mile singletrack trail that will connect Quincy and Taylorsville via Mount Hough multi-use singletrack.
The 5.5-mile trail on the frontside of Hough is already completed, while the Taylorsville Connector is currently under construction.
This work is part of SBTS' Connected Communities project, which aims to connect 15 mountain towns via multi-use singletrack to spur economic revitalization. If you want to help support the Quincy-based trail crew and their work on Hough, consider donating to our current 5 Bucks a Foot fundraiser (you may even win a sweet, fully decked out Santa Cruz Bicycles Heckler SL!).

| Exciting news! This spring, SPI planted their 300 millionth seedling on their company’s timberland.
This achievement has been decades in the making, reflecting their commitment to sustainable forest management and ensuring we have forests not just for today, but for generations to come. Replanting our forests is foundational to sustainable forest management, with every tree planted supports the forest ecosystem, wildlife, clean water and air, while also providing a reliable source of logs for the sawmills and the sustainable products they manufacture.
“I wouldn’t have imagined 75 years ago when we started with no land and one very small sawmill that I would see the day we planted 300 million trees," said SPI founder Red Emmerson. “This is a legacy I am proud of and I am proud of our team that made this possible.” |
