MARK YOUR CALENDARS
Jim Wolcott, Lassen County Fair manager, tells us the theme has been chosen for this year’s fair. Mark your calendars for July 15 through July 19 for “Kids, Cows and Fair Wows.” The fair has always been a summertime highlight here in Susanville and Lassen County. It’s a time for locals to show off their talents with still exhibits like photography, gardening, handmade textiles, baking and canning along with many other categories. Local 4-H, FFA and independent youth bring their livestock to town to show market and breeding projects. Youth and adults alike can show their horses in the English, Western and Gymkhana divisions. Whether you are participating or want to come enjoy the sights, the Lassen County Fair has plenty to offer. Stay tuned for the feature entertainment that will be coming to town.
