Lassen Municipal Utility District ‘Food for Lights’ Collection Drive Begins December 1st
Lassen Municipal Utility District customers are invited to bring a non-perishable food item to the utility’s business office at 65 South Roop Street beginning December 1st in exchange for a 100-bulb string of multi-colored LED holiday lights. The offer is limited to one box per household, and the first 450 customers.

“The goal of program is to increase awareness and promote the use of LED lights in LMUD’s service territory and to help replenish our local food shelves after the holiday rush,” explains LMUD Public Relations Manager Theresa Phillips.
Lights will be distributed to LMUD customers on a first come, first served basis while supply lasts.

In addition to the light give-away, LMUD is offering a rebate of up to $3 per box to customers who purchase EnergyStar qualified LED holiday lights. Click here and visit the LMUD web site for program details and to download a rebate application.

Questions? Contact LMUD’s Public Relations Manager at 257-4174. To learn more about how LED’s can reduce your holiday energy use visit energystar.gov.
You Can Be a Part of The Annual Fairgrounds Festival of Lights!
Twinkling lights, chaotic holiday displays, even a massive light show carefully synchronized to music – it’s all part of one of Susanville’s favorite holiday traditions, the Lassen County Fairgrounds’ annual Festival of Lights.

For fifteen years now the brilliant display of lights at the fairgrounds has been created by some dedicated individuals, local groups and organizations for people to drive through and enjoy.
The amazing wonderland magically appears at the fairgrounds each year just in time for the holidays, with displays that are expected to be bigger, brighter and more awe-inspiring than the year before.

Vehicles enter the Jensen Hall entrance, driving through a variety of outdoor displays as they pass through the fairgrounds.

The Fair also features a display of community decorated Christmas trees at the marquee on Main Street. The beautiful trees decorate the entrance of town, welcoming travelers throughout the holiday season.

How Can You Be a Part of the Holiday Fun?

You could provide, and decorate, a live, cut, tree that would go in one of the nine spaces by the Fair Marquee on Main Street, or you could put together a Christmas display (use your imagination) to go along the midway, where almost 900 vehicles drive through each December.

Opening night will be Friday, December 4th and the fair plans to have the midway open for viewing for 16-nights this year, through Christmas Day.

Bagged leaves may be dropped off at this location on Skyline Drive until December 11th
Inundated with Leaves? City of Susanville Collecting Leaves Through December 11th
Too many leaves in your yard with nowhere to put them? Until December 11th, the City of Susanville’s annual leaf collection program offers a way for Susanville residents to rid themselves of the leaves for free.

After bagging leaves please bring them, tied securely, to the vacant lot on Skyline Road at Numa Road.
The area where you are to place your bags will be marked with tape and barricades.

The bags are not to weigh more than forty pounds and are to contain leaves only. Because the bags are opened and leaves spread-out in agricultural fields by inmates at the California Correctional Center it poses a security hazard if items other than leaves are left in bags.

If you are handicapped or elderly please call 530-257-1041 to arrange for pickup of already bagged leaves.

This program is made possible for Susanville residents through donations by C&S Waste Systems and the California Correction Center.

Susanville Finds Height of Nerve
November 20, 1930

The height of nerve. Thieves Saturday night stole State Highway Patrolman T. W. Birmingham’s white flivver sedan while he was purchasing some cigarettes preparatory to attending the state’s school for patrolmen in Sacramento.

The car was found later on a highway near there, wrecked.

Birmingham was in anything but a jovial mood today as a result of chiding.

Optimism Voiced by Congressman
Congressman H. L. Englebright from this district , in an interview granted today, stated that he was certain of a great change for the better in America’s unemployment situation next February.

Englebright also told of plans now underway for the construction of a million dollar resort and hotel accommodations to compare with the best of America’s national parks for the Mt. Lassen volcanic national park, near here.

Actual construction operations would not begin for some time, however, Englebright said.
