Community Fun & Chuck’s Prediction
From the Whip Cream Wrangle to the (highly competitive) Intelligent Insults and Hold My Beer contests, the day was packed with action. We also crowned a new leader—Magpie secured a landslide victory in the Mayoral Debate hosted by the Plumas Audubon Society! Most importantly, Chuck Wood saw his shadow, officially predicting six more weeks of winter for Plumas County! |

This festival wouldn’t be possible without our incredible partners and volunteers. Thank you to Vibecraft, Quintopia, Brewing Lair, Feather River Disposal, Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship, Quircus, S-Club, Quincy Fire Dept, and Plumas County.
