Business Scene for the week of 6/19/19
At Hamilton Branch
Mark Guillory and Michelle Burt, not pictured, opened Sierra’s Fly & Tackle in Hamilton Branch. The store carries a complete line of fishing tackle and equipment in addition to Michelle’s custom designed shirts and hats featuring local artwork. Mark said as an added convenience they also provide delivery service right to the dock at Hamilton Branch; it just takes a phone call to place your order. He has years of local retail and fishing experience and can knowledgably direct anglers to those hot fishing spots around the lake. Photo by Chelsea HarrisonNEW ZUMBA INSTRUCTOR
Shawnee WaltersShawnee Walters is the new zumba instructor at Lake Almanor Fitness. She brings nine years of experience, passion and energy to this full service fitness center in Chester. Shawnee is originally from Gridley and while visiting local friends every summer to enjoy all it offers, she fell in love with the area and the community! Her favorite part of teaching this class is “watching how it builds an individual’s confidence as she sees them slowly make their way to the front of the classroom. … Zumba to me is about letting go of outside stress in a judge-free zone and getting lost in the music,” she said. The zumba classes are Mondays and Wednesdays.
