Youth from Kindergarten through 6th grade participated by creating their own cars to race. Families joined in the fun, also, as well as Scouts from Troop 151. The enthusiastic crowd enjoyed snacks, pizza, face painting, and the main event – Pinewood Derby races! The Scouts are thankful for the support of the families and community who contributed to make this happen. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. Scouts BSA provides youth with programs and activities that allow them to 1) Try new things, 2) Provide service to others, 3) Build self-confidence, and 4) Reinforce ethical standards.

FRTA Campaign to Increase Heads in Beds Feather River Tourism Association Advertising is just one marketing tool that can successfully increase recognition of a brand. The Feather River Tourism Association (FRTA) has a commitment to promote the area with four campaigns for 2023 “We discovered last year when sending out press releases that many publications thought Plumas County was ‘all gone’ due to the Dixie Fire,” says Sharon Roberts, FRTA chair and owner of St. Bernard Lodge. “We could be dependent on sending releases in hopes they get picked up but thought we needed to make a financial commitment to let readers of recreation and travel industry magazines know that Plumas County is alive and well and guests are welcome 12 months out of year,” she adds. Sierra Rec is a digital-only magazine covering the Sierra Nevada for nine years. They feature content that is travel and outdoor recreation related to the Sierra Nevada with wide readership in SF Bay area and LA. The magazine has run editorial on Longboard Races, Ground Hog Day, the ice-skating rink and the Chilly Chili Cookoff. January Special Edition. Weekend Sherpa is a popular magazine amongst the SF and LA outdoor traveler founded in 2006. The on-line publication provides timely, trusted and fun ideas on where to explore in Northern and Southern California.
