The beautiful Lake Almanor community of FOXWOOD has committed up to $7,000.00 to continue our tradition of fireworks over Lake Almanor on the 4th of July.

The challenge?

Our community, our visitors and our friends have until June 1, 2010 to raise an additional $7,000.00!  There are lots of grass roots efforts in the works to meet the challenge.  Our CLOE for Mayor Campaign is one.

There have been multiple sightings of Tom Rigney about town. Some say it is the posters going up all over. Others say it is just Clint Eastwood visiting town.  

The truth is out there.  All we know is that Tom will play Thursday Night, September 24th!

And that's when we all will dance till we drop!

Cloe personally thanks the folks at Foxwood. If you would like to step up to the Foxwood Challenge, checks can be made out to Chester-Lake Almanor Chamber Fireworks Fund, P.O. Box 1198, Chester 96020 or donations can be made on line at

Cloe for Mayor

Cloe is looking forward to eating tri-tip with the community on Thursday, the 24th at Chester Park and will be showing off her new cajun-bayou dance moves. Cloe will hold court in her wigwam campaign headquarters near the stage.  Buttons, bandanas, buddie biscuits and pawgraphs will be available for supporters.

WHY GIVE? Every TWO SECONDS someone in the United States needs blood. Be someone's hero - you may give a newborn, a child, a mother or a father, a brother or a sister, a friend, a stranger a chance at life. In fact you may help save up to three lives with just one donation. LETS BE HERO'S together. Give Blood!

Our community has come together in the most awesome way to welcome the Outdoor Writers Association of California to the 2009 Fall OWAC Conference in Lake Almanor.  It is why we are proud to live here.  

We hope the writers, photographers and radio hosts of OWAC catch our spirit!  

Today we would like to recognize the lodging providers of the Basin for their generosity in hosting the conference attendees during the Saturday through Monday activities.  Please read on.

The Save Lake Almanor Committee asks community members to stay abreast of recent developments in the State Water Resources Control Board's proposals to lower water temperatures 40 miles downstream of Lake Almanor.  

This is not a time to become complascent.   We are the people who will be most affected by the actions of others. Our voices need to be heard.

If you would like further information, or would like to become more active in our local efforts, contact the committee at www.savelakealmanor.org or call  (530) 259-5687.
