SUNDAY CRIBBAGE PLAY IN QUINCY
We mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Susan Terry is coordinating a 9-game singles cribbage tournament at the Main Street Sports Bar in downtown Quincy every Sunday. Play starts at 1 p.m., but for those wanting to learn how to play the game, lessons will be offered beginning at 11 a.m. It’s an $11 buy-in, $10 of that goes to the tournament winners and the other buck gets split into a couple of side pots which Susan will explain prior to play.

ROMANTIC HEART SHAPED PIZZA
Derek and Naomi Vaughn, owners of Papa Murphy’s Take and Bake Pizza in Quincy, are sharing the love with a special Heartbaker pizza (you guessed it, shaped like a heart it is) for Valentines Day.

DEADLINE NEARS FOR VISITORS GUIDE
Hard to believe, but yes it’s time once again to begin focusing our attention on tourism this summer in Plumas County and the ever-so-important impact it has on our local economy.
With that in mind, we are once again working on this year’s annual Plumas County Visitors Guide. The full-color, high-quality magazine is packed full of information detailing virtually everything our county has to offer to both visitors and locals alike. Some 90,000 copies are distributed free at hundreds of locations in our region throughout 2020.
As a way of extending its reach to entice more visitors to our very special niche in California, and as an added value to our advertisers, we also post the entire magazine in a user-friendly format on our website, plumasnews.com. The electronic version of the visitors guide gets hundreds of views monthly throughout the season.
Local business owners as well as service and hospitality providers should continue to consider this informative publication an annual “must-buy” advertising investment.
