NEW HOURS, ROCK WITH US ON NEW YEAR’S EVE

The recent fire at Lassen Ale Works at the Pioneer Saloon means they won’t be serving their famous fish and chips while they are doing reconstruction. The good news is the bar is open four evenings a week starting at 5 p.m. Stop by for fresh ales, craft cocktails and good company.

Lassen Ale Works at the Pioneer Saloon is open from 5 to 10 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday and from 5 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Bar Service Only.

Lassen Ale Works will be open for New Year’s Eve and Rockasaurs will be there to rock the house until 1 a.m. They will be closed today, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Stop in as they have lots to celebrate!

MOBILE SPRAY TANNING SERVICES

If you’re feeling the need for a warm summer glow in the middle of winter, then consider calling Kimber Azevedo, owner of Suddenly Sun Kissed, a local mobile spray tanning service.

MR INTERNATIONAL NEW YEAR’S EVE PARTY

Jackie McNally, owner of Country Sunshine Tanning Salon in Uptown Susanville, has teamed up with MR International to participate in their international New Year’s Eve party. Just bring yourself and your friends to the salon for complimentary appetizers and refreshments up until midnight.

“We’ve got lots of great goodies to give away in our free drawings, and are hoping to have live music, too,” she said.

Hair stylist and color specialist Rikki (at Country Sunshine Tanning Salon) is pleased to announce she has just added a new permanent chemical straightening system for those of you who are tired of the daily ironing of your curly hair. Unlike the Keratin Express Blow Out, this is a permanent system, which is not reversible. See her ad for more information.
