The Chamber honored the Lassen County Times as the “Chamber Member of the Year”, The Pardner Western Store as the “Chamber Business of the Year”, and Patricia Sharp as the “Volunteer of the Year” during this event.
Planning is now underway for the 2012 Spring Home, Garden, and Outdoor Recreation Show that is being planned for Saturday, April 28, 2012 at the Lassen County Fairgrounds.
Dorine Beckman, event chairperson, and her committee are busy planning for another great event.
