Summer in Lassen County, 1970

A portion of a brochure cover of the Lassen County Chamber of Commerce

Normally, at this time of year, I publish my annual Go Exploring post. This time, I deviate and provide a different angle—though the emphasis remains the same. On the front cover of this Lassen County Chamber of Commerce states:

”May is the Annual Cattlemen’s Jr. Rodeo. July 4th is Westwood’s Old Timers—Newcomers Picnic. With August comes  full  five days of Lassen County Fair typical of the old county fairs with rodeo, log rolling and all the usual western events. Each year an annual Three day Trail Ride of fun packed time of barbecue and campfires under star filled skies.”

Times have changed. The Junior Rodeo is no more. The Lassen County Fair is now in July and has almost no resemblance of the prior August venue. The trail rides was a brief annual event.

Anyhow, there is always something interesting to see or do, so enjoy.
