The Happy Camp Chamber of Commerce had a great time at the Spaghetti Dinner at the Grange (see Community page) and planned to make a new Website using the Yola.com company. It was a very good meeting and also wished the President of the Chamber, Dinah, a very “Happy Birthday.”

The very next day www.happycampchamber.org was up and running. It is having new things, photos and information, added all the time. The home page has a map to see where Happy Camp is located and pictures of the “Welcome to Happy Camp, Steelhead Capital of the World” sign as well as television personality, Huell Howser. Huell provides history and travel information about California places on his television program and visited Happy Camp awhile ago.

The Website also has Visitors Information, Events, Business Directory, Join the Chamber, Committees and a Members area. The” Join the Chamber” page even has a pdf file that can let you print out a membership form to send to Happy Camp Chamber of Commerce. Visitors Information has places to stay and restaurants, as well as fishing, rafting and gold prospecting information for visitors.

It’s great how helpful the site is and how quickly the site was up and running! thanks to Kirk for the suggestion, and James for making it happen so quickly! Further suggestions are welcome at the Advertising Committee meeting at Frontier Cafe January 26th at 1 p.m.

While the more traditional Nativity scenes might be the usual fare on the Sunday before Christmas, the combined Sunday School Classes of the Happy Camp Christian Fellowship presented a Moses Skit instead.

At the close, Pastor Kirk Eadie reminded the congregation why Moses in the basket in the Nile was on the tree ornaments.

The 44th Bigfoot Jamboree was held at the Happy Camp River Park on Labor Day Weekend, 2010. This years theme for the Bigfoot jamboree is “Summer Days & Country Ways.”

Jay and Stella Clark were the Grand Marshalls. They have contributed to the community in so many ways since Jay came to be the principal of Happy Camp High School in 1973. I remember they were coming into town as we were leaving for a year in Chicago, Illinois. That being quite a difference from Happy Camp, we wish we’d been coming instead of going.
