Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 15th as you won't want to miss the Annual Butte County Olive Festival. There will be vendors, raffle prizes, food, and music to entertain you. Again this year Lincoln Street will be closed to traffic to allow room for food trucks and the Native Sons' BBQ area. If you haven't visited the Ehmann Home, the Mooretown Rancheria is sponsoring the tours this year. The Old Courthouse Park will become a hive of activity from 9-2 that day, so plan to come and have fun. Questions? 530-533-9418.
