Speaking of Mugshot Mondays... |
|
|
|
We still have a few spots left to fill for our Mugshot Mondays!
Simply send us a photo of you (you can include your team, coworkers, friends, family, pets, whomever) at your business with a mug of your choice. Also send us a brief blurb about you and/or your business. Here are a few ideas: When did you start your business? How long have you lived here? What is your favorite thing about living in Plumas County? Tell us a brief story, your favorite joke (keep it clean!), or a motto you live by. Make it fun and make it interesting!
Want to participate but need help? Give us a call at (530) 394-0541 or email us at info@quincychamber.com and we'd be happy to take the photo for you or share some other ideas! |
