If your interest in cultural events isn’t satisfied by pop movie themes, maybe you’ll find the Susanville Indian Rancheria’s 10th annual PowWow more gratifying.

The event, sponsored by the police department, the Lassen Humane Society, Lassen County, the city of Susanville, Treats Natural Pet Marketplace and Tractor Supply, features promotional booths, sled dog rides, Humane Society dog tags and demonstrations by the Lassen County Sheriff’s Office and its K-9, Hank.
