Business Scene for the week of 9/18/19
Wedding party and venue
Mike and Denise Deissinger are only the third family to own the Kinship Ranch near Cromberg. Although it is still a working ranch, they have transformed this 100-plus acre property and its 140-year-old farmhouse and barns to a wedding venue with a number of wedding ceremony sites on the property to choose from as well as other gatherings that include reunions and gatherings for any size group. Leaving their careers in Nevada to help them with this huge endeavor is their son Kevin and his wife Valerie. Also pictured is ranch hand Mike Cook. Photo submitted.TOWN TALK SET FOR SEPT. 25

NEW PAVEMENT AT CONNIE’S PLACE
We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the newly installed pavement in front of Connie’s Place on Highway 70 just west of Portola. We’d also be remiss if we didn’t mention that Connie Kunsman has owned and operated the store for 44 years. It’s a high end and very unique secondhand store packed with antiques, furniture, household items, collectibles, books and jewelry with new items arriving on a regular basis.
That is also the same location as Kunsman Fence, which has also been serving Plumas, Lassen, Nevada and Sierra counties for 44 years. They sell and install virtually every type of residential, commercial and industrial fencing product including chain link, privacy, ornamental iron, split rail along with ADA compliant hand and guard rails, gates and so much more. Tom Burnett will quickly tell you that no job is too big or too small for his crew!
