As we reach the end of 2008 we wanted to take a look back at all of the various events that have taken place during the last year.
From early season fires to the Magical Country Christmas parade there has been a lot to do this year in Susanville.

Our gallery of photos will take you back to events like the junior fishing derby, the LHS alumni association picnic and the Fire Department’s 9/11 Memorial.
Of course we also were at the big events like the Lassen County Fair Parade, the Children’s Fair and the Relay for Life.

Here is something very cool, the local Police Explorer post has created a recruitment video showing off some of their activities.
The YouTube video which was created by Justin Bermender in association with the Susanville Police department shows members of Explorer post 1801 everywhere from the firing range to car wash fundraisers.

EIGHT PERSONS MAROONED IN COLD SNOW ARE RESCUED
Family Trapped in Near-Zero Weather with Snowfall 18 Inches Deep
December 30th, 1934
|
Eight persons, marooned for 24 hours with three cars in the snow near Bridge Creek were rescued early today.
A deputy said the party, which included two children, was being towed back to Susanville by a Caterpillar tractor.
"They're all safe," the office spokesman told the United Press.
Among those saved from exposure in temperatures which dropped to almost zero were a Pittville family of a father, mother and two children; Mr. and Mrs. A.N. Brown of Susanville; and Russ Johnson and Lee Sweibel, Susanville garagemen who started out Wednesday night to aid the others.

The rescue represented slow, tedious work on the part of state highway employees who smashed through the snow with motorized plows, clearing the way for the tractor, which carried food and supplies to aid the marooned party.
It was still snowing when the rescuers reached Bridge Creek, where Brown's machine had broken down, the sheriff's office reported.
The storm had started after Brown had telephoned to Susanville for a tow car Wednesday night. More than 18 inches of heavy "wet and sticky snow" fell. The wet snow made progress of the rescuers more difficult.
The sheriff believed that it will take at least five hours for the motorists to reach Susanville behind the tractor tow.
