Over the holidays, Fred and Theresa Nagel shared the above photograph of Jay Cee’s parade float. In the early 1950s and to the mid 1960s there was the Susanville Junior Chamber of Commerce, hence the nickname “J.C.” It was my understanding that the members were in the 20 and 30s. It was like the reincarnation of the “20-30 Club.” It was the promotional arm of the Susanville Chamber of Commerce. One of major goals of the JC’s was to promote and organize events of Susanville Centennial of 1954. This is not be confused of centennial of the City of Susanville, but rather the centennial of when Isaac Roop settled there in 1854. It was a success. It was decided to keep the organization, and prepare for the Lassen County Centennial of 1964. After that event, the Susanville Junior Chamber of Commerce faded into oblivion .
