Lassen Municipal Utility District’s Annual Customer Appreciation Celebration
Lassen Municipal Utility District’s big annual Customer Appreciation Celebration will be held today, September 3rd, in the big parking lot at the corner of North Gay and Main Streets.
LMUD’s first customer appreciation celebration took place in June of 2008.
“That year, LMUD staff, management, and board members started a tradition that has grown into a much-loved celebration of community-owned power,” explains LMUD Public Relations Manager Theresa Phillips.
The expanded event, which has been held at its new location for three years now, features a giant tent for plenty of shaded seating, cool giveaways – including $100 LMUD energy gift cards – and the famous 1/4 lbs. all-beef hot dogs.
“There’s seating for up to 100 people, so we encourage folks to sit and relax and enjoy lunch with family and friends.”
Lunch at the event will be served from 11a.m. until 1:30p.m., and you can spin the Wheel of Fortune for a chance to win a Jackery Portable Generator or other great prizes..
You can also pick up a swag bag with lots of goodies.
“LMUD is proud to serve our friends, neighbors and family with reliable, affordable electricity,” said Phillips.
“Events like our customer appreciation celebration give you an opportunity to meet with LMUD board members, management and staff, allowing you to ask questions and voice your comments on how your utility is operating.”
Summer Porches Boutique Closing and Hours Change
Summer Porches Boutique on Hall Street will be closing by the end of December. Stacey Burton, owner of the business says, “I want to thank everyone for their support through these past few years, it’s been a pleasure serving you. I appreciate every single one of you. Hopefully we will see you all during this time until December.”
If Burton can find a new building in a good location with parking she hopes to reopen in 2027, so don’t give up hope.
Prior to closing, Summer Porches Boutique will have new hours until the end of the year. The current hours are Thursdays from 11:00a.m. to 3:00p.m., and Fridays 11:00a.m. to 6:00p.m., and Saturday 11:30a.m. to 6:00p.m.

Firehouse Grill in Susanville to Host “Totally Tubular” 80s Glow-in-the-Dark Night
Don’t let unpredictable weather dampen your Labor Day weekend plans. Firehouse Grill, located at 463-760 Main Street in Janesville, is lighting up the area on Saturday, September 5th, with a “totally tubular” Glow N The Dark 80s Night.
Guests can jumpstart the holiday celebration early with drink specials featured all day long.
The venue welcomes all ages for regular family dining from 4:00 to 9:00p.m., though food orders wrap up when the kitchen closes at 8:30p.m.
Once dinner concludes, the real party begins as the main glow event officially kicks off at 9:00. Attendees are encouraged to break out their brightest neon colors or retro attire to fully embrace the 80s theme.
