Lasco was the logging camp of the Lassen Lumber & Box Company during the 1920s. It was located at the northern base of Peg Leg Mountain. During the summer it was home to 250 loggers. They were a social bunch with special events on Saturday nights throughout the summer. One of their annual events was a Logger’s Ball held there on the last Saturday of July. Lasco’s de facto Mayor, Emille Frizzie always made it a point to welcome all visitors. One time  he made a public invite to everyone from Chester to Doyle, though he made it clear bootleggers were not welcomed.  As was customary then, a midnight meal was served and dancing continued into the wee hours of the morning.
