Quizmaster Ryan has returned from his travels - weeks of meditating in silence atop a mountain in Jerusalem, just to better understand the sound of a whisper… But meanwhile on planet Plumas Mitch adds some special magic (and perhaps some beard oil) to the mash of a new beer - ‘Logjammer’ Hoppy Red Ale - named for his winning team in our last Trivia series. You could have the glory too! Bring your brains and your beer drinking for a chance to name and help with the next Trivia beer! Tonight’s prizes generously sponsored by The Toy Store with some adult themed game giveaways Hospital Monthly Updates Plumas District Hospital Summer Flex Schedule at College Feather River College Summer flex schedule for hours of campus operation begins June 1st!

We encourage you to check department websites for specific department hours of operation, as well as contact information. Thank you and happy summer! Gallery Reception for Felted Art by Lorraine Nielsen Plumas Arts Join us at the Gallery this Friday for a reception featuring Lorraine Nielsen~ "These sculpted, felted creations are pieces of place, speaking their voices from the land, from respectfully foraged and windfall gifts from the landscape, and expressing images seen or imagined: everyday yet extraordinary moments and introspective visions. This current, eclectic collection includes pieces from the Dixie Fire trauma, images of hope and beauty, and an exploration of the rewilding concept." June Disaster Recovery Services Newsletter Plumas Rural Services The June Disaster Recovery Services Newsletter is now available! Lost and Found Gravel Festival Portola Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship Volunteers Needed!! We're looking for course marshals for Saturday's race to stage at various intersections along the course. Shifts vary from two to six hours, and we'll set you up with free weekend camping, food and beverages, some sweet swag and guaranteed good times. Come spend the weekend with us in Portola! Find all the details and sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b094da9a62caafb6-lost7#/ What an honor to have the talented Chris McNally create this beautiful watercolor to celebrate Portola as the epicenter of Lost Sierra gravel riding, highlighting Smith Peak Fire Lookout and Lake Davis, two of the many defining characteristics of the riding in the area. With easy access to hundreds of miles of backcountry gravel roads and routes that connect to Truckee and Reno, Portola is the perfect jumping off point for adventure by drop-bar bike. The network of Forest Service roads allows riders to link up multiple rural communities, similar to the eventual goal of SBTS' Connected Communities project, which aims to connect 15 mountain towns by multi-use singletrack, using the outdoor recreation economy to bolster longterm prosperity in the Lost Sierra. Pick up a poster in the SBTS merch booth at this weekend's Lost and Found Gravel Festival presented by Cervélo and help support Connected Communities.
