Judy Bushy fell in love with the beauty of Creation along the Klamath River Valley and the friendly little town at the top of California, Happy Camp when moving here over forty years ago. She would like to share the many wonderful things about this special place where in some ways time has stood still and the beauty of forest, river and sky surround us. Yet modern technology is helpful and Computer Center is available to all of the community. It is a community that has built a log cabin school in 1933 so that our young people wouldn't have to leave to continue their education, and can still do remarkable things working together. In difficult times, our Klamath neighbors care!

Friday Night Dinner at the Art Center. Yes! Alan Crockett has announced a very special menu for Friday night July 29th. ‘…Hey, just wait till you hear the menu for the next dinner…

Jon Grunbaum is whipping up the tastiest Spaghetti and Meatball dinner this side of Sicily (with a veggie option of course). With loads of Jon’s life changing Garlic Bread and a Garden Fresh Green Salad to boot!

Oh yeah, We’ve just got a great selection of drinks to try and a sensational music mix if I do say so myself.

Here’s hoping you can make it. ‘ Don’t forget that when you enjoy the special menu Friday night, that you are also helping to support the Art Center!

MUSIC by Second Sons – They were great and their singer Joelle Edwards sang for us at the Talent show too,. She and Cassie Rae Little tied for first place. they were both so good that our Master of Ceremonies, Bob (JavaBob) Schmalzbach couldn’t tell who was the winner by applause. The Pavilion really was Rockin!

First Time Plans to Celebrate “Dear Mad’m”

Leave a comment

Dear Mad’m Day August 13th, 2011

View from the former Dear Mad’m Cabin site of the Klamath River’s new placement from 2011,

Happy Camp is celebrating a literary celebrity of our community. The book Dear Mad’m by Stella W. Patterson has brought many visitors to our community and encouraged many “senior citizens” to lead an adventurous life despite advancing years.

The Happy Camp Chamber of Commerce is planning the luncheon picnic to honor Stella Patterson and those who still maintain the spirit she exemplifies today! The Luncheon will be held in the shade of the trees on the lawn of the Klamath River Resort Inn and Rafting Lodge on the Klamath River east of Happy Camp.

Dear Mad’m Day will be Saturday, August 13th and the picnic luncheon for $5 donation will be at 11:00 o”clock. Sandwiches, ribs, jewel and fruit salads and specialty breads are planned, as well as Dolly’s Strawberry Lemonade and dessert.

We are so pleased that guests who have known Dear Mad’m from their time on the River, will be with us. Peter and Liz Lismer who are related to Stella Patterson and who are writing a book to be published by Naturegraph on her life plan to come, Hazel Davis Gendron, our local historian,  who used her artistic talents for a drawing of Dear Mad’m will bring the portrait with her and numerous other “Friends of “Stella” from near and far will be coming to the picnic luncheon.

Plan to come to this first celebration of a literary treasure of the Klamath, Dear Mad’m!

What’s Happening along the Klamath this weekend

Leave a comment

Saturday is a big day along the beautiful wild Klamath River. The Seiad Valley Volunteer Fire Department is having their hugely popular rummage sale. You would not believe the bargains and extraordinary finds that have been located at this special rummage sale. Not only can you find something you need and have always wished you could find, but the funds raised go toward keeping this group of Volunteers ready to protect homes along the River from fire. Yard Sale entripreneurs from last weeks Art & Treasure Sales in Happy Camp are welcome to donate their unsold merchandise to the Seiad Valley Firefighters! This is a valuable service and we are glad to support the Firefighters with donations of things for the rummage sale and coming to the sale as shoppers also.

Does anyone know a Lisa Lane? She married Aug 26, 1990, birth notice for Cameron was Santa Rosa. Some photos and family albums got lost in Siskiyou County and we’d like her to contact Happy Camp News at jbushy @happycampnews.com. Thank you!

In Happy Camp the children will be at the 11th Annual Kids’ Fair sponsored by the Happy Camp Family Resource Center. The Resource Center gets help from numerous community and county agencies, organizations and businesses which makes for a wide variety of activities going on at the Park. This Saturday from 11 to 1 PM are the times at Happy Camp River Park. All kids and their families are welcome. You can stop by the old go kart track and see what activities the Outdoor Club has going Saturday also!

Have you read the article on our new Happy Camp History page which gives more background on Stella Patterson, better known in these parts as “Dear Madam?”
