Second Fridays Being Replaced By Concerts in the Park

Building on the enthusiasm for the music of Second Fridays and family-style entertainment, the Chamber has elected to disband the Second Friday's events in favor of a new series that will yield more options for musical entertainment and community interaction.

Does Your Directory Page Look This Good?

Micro Web pages are a part of your Chamber Business Membership. Find your name in our business directory and ask yourself: Does my presence in the directory reflect my business well? Am I fully optimized? Can visitors and customers find me on the web, which is the resource now "most used" by visitors to our area.

To answer, Google your business's name or services in Lake Almanor.  If it does not come up in the top 5 of a google search, then you are not optimized.  

Would you like to have this? The Chamber can help you make it happen!

 What is a Friend of the Chamber?

The Lake Almanor Basin is home to approximately 5,200 folks year round with an additional 25,000 people calling our area home during the spring, summer and fall seasons. The Chester-Lake Almanor Chamber of Commerce serves this entire community with a mission to sustain and improve our cultural, educational and business opportunities in order to make the Lake Almanor Basin the best place possible to live, work, visit and invest.

The Chamber Partners with Words & Music

Words & Music, held the 4th Thursday of each month September through May at the Coffee Station in Chester,  is a delightful evening of acoustic music and the spoken word. Each month features a head-line artist followed by Open Mike. Attendance is a $3.00 donation.  

The Chamber is now bringing its ABC "All About the Chamber" Cart to Words & Music!

The ABC cart brings adult libations to community events with the proceeds contributing to the community events and programs of the Chamber.  The ABC cart can be scheduled for your event by contacting Kim James at the Chamber 258-2426.  The cart must be scheduled at least 8 weeks in advance of an event.

Words & Music is sponsored by Plumas Arts.

 

Trade Shows Market Lake Almanor

The Chamber purchased booth space at two Sports & Recreation Shows this year to promote the Almanor Basin as a place to visit and play:  Sacramento (January 19 - 23) and Anderson (March).  We thank Eileen Majors of Mountain Valley Living for spearheading our on-site Trade Show management and volunteer Sue Olson for her untiring work on the project.  The following members volunteered to spend their time and money to represent us at the Sacramento Show.

If you would like information about future trade shows and how you may participate, contact the Chamber at 258-2426.
