It’s the television moment a lot of Susanville folks have been waiting for… the Season 18 premiere episode of the hit CBS show Survivor, featuring the Maestro of the Susanville Symphony, Ben Wade.

This season of Survivor is set in the Brazilian highlands of Tocantins and will feature Ben Wade and 15 other ‘castaways’ trying to stay in the game over 39 days.

The Susanville Symphony Society will be hosting a ‘Survivor’ premiere party and fundraiser at the Susanville Elks Hall tonight from 6:00 until 9:00.


The Symphony Society will have four televisions set up in the Elks Hall for viewing of the premiere episode of Survivor.

There will be door prizes, raffle items, an immunity challenge and best of all a ‘Survivor’ costume contest!  The cost of the event is $20 per person and will include a taco, bean and rice dinner.

You can purchase tickets today at Leslie's Jewelry, 700 Main Street, or for more information call 257-2920.
Survivor: Tocantins airs tonight at 8:00 on CBS.

Dashing Through the Snow
February 12th, 1887

Winter has come at last in regular old-fashioned style, and now the jingle of sleigh bells are heard in our streets.

The present storm commenced last Thursday and continued through the night and Friday morning broke with about seven inches of “the beautiful" on the ground.  This was continued through the entire day, finding about 18 inches of pure snow when night came.

Yesterday was quite warm and the snow settled fast, packing solid and forming a splendid bed for sleighing.  Today there has been a slight fall with prospects of more.

In Willow Creek valley there is now over two feet of snow on the level.

Everything in the shape of, or that can be called a sleigh, has been put to service and the beauxs [sic] tuck their best girls nicely in with the warm robes and go flying through the streets. Those who are not fortunate enough to possess or obtain a string of bells, substitute the cow bell, which, with its heavy bass tone, jars rather discordantly upon the ear as it mingles its sonorous sounds with the fluted treble of the others.
