Portion of the Bizz Closed After Rockslide Causes Safety Concerns
Huge boulders from a recent rockslide have blocked part of the Bizz Johnson Trail about three miles west of the Susanville Trailhead and the Bureau of Land Management is asking the public to temporarily avoid the area while they actively work to clear the massive rocks and stabilize the hillside.
While the work is underway some areas of the trail will remain open for recreation; from the Susanville Trailhead you can go as far west as the slide area. From the Devil’s Corral Trailhead you can use the other half of the trail.
The BLM encourages visitors to enjoy those areas, while being mindful of trail conditions, and to avoid using the trail when it is muddy.

Mid Winter Fair Date Set for February
January 30, 1927
Lassen County’s first mid-winter fair will take place early in February, according to word received today from the headquarters of the Lassen County Fair Association.
The holding of this mid-winter fair is something of a novelty, and it is being staged by the Lassen County Fair Association for the multiple purpose of maintaining interest in the Fair Association; of affording public entertainment during an otherwise very quiet period in public affairs, and to provide funds to help defray overhead expenses of the Fair Association.
The mid-winter fair will be held at the Memorial Building, and will stage many interesting features. The general carnival spirit will prevail; the fair will last for two afternoons and two evenings; there will be vaudeville and other entertainment features; two novelty dances; poultry show, and a number of midway concessions.
The Fair Association will receive assistance of a large number of people in putting on the show and from enthusiasm with which the first announcement of the Fari was received it is expected that this first mid-winter fair will be distinctly successful.
