Business Scene for the week of 5/15/19
In downtown Taylorsville
Jennifer Ayres has opened Mountain Ayres Garden on Nelson Street in Taylorsville. After retiring from Plumas Unified School District last year, Jennifer decided to pursue her love of gardening by opening a business where she sells hanging and container plants and flowers — petunias a specialty — along with veggie plants and some perennials. Her husband Mark works in the technology department for PUSD. Jennifer will be having a grand opening on Saturday, May 18, the same day as the popular Indian Valley area-wide yard sales.

The band is excited to celebrate their next chapter with a brief tour of the Bay Area ending with what promises to be a smashing good time at Feather River Hot Springs.

LOAN OFFICER, NOT BOARD MEMBER
Last week on this page the headline used for the story about Michael Hix joining Plumas Bank inadvertently stated he was joining the bank’s board of directors. As the story correctly read, he is a senior vice president, commercial loan officer for the Reno and the Truckee/Lake Tahoe region.
