Happy Camp Holiday Joy in LightsDecember 19, 2007
by Judy Bushy Holiday Happiness in Lights are popping up all over, both on homes and businesses in our community. Happy Camp is showing bright happy Christmas lights! Next to the lights of Parry’s Market, you can see the outline of the world’s largest dreamcatcher, complete with weaving spider in red. Jesse Tree Celebrates Christmas in Happy CampDecember 18, 2007
by Judy Bushy Jesse Tree has been celebrated at the Happy Camp Christian Fellowship.This may not look like the traditional Christmas tree to you, and indeed, it is lacking the greens with sparkling lights, shiny tinsel and bright baubles. It is however, traditional in another way. Margaret Bernhard shared an ornament with an ark on it and read Scripture that tells how Noah’s family was saved from flood, just like Jesus came to save those who believe in Him from destruction. Susan Neal hung an ornament. Vickie Simmons hung a burning bush on the Jesse Tree and read scriptures which told how God spoke through the bush, just as Jesus came to speak to us for God. Deleana read a scripture on “Son of Righteousness” as she hung an ornament on the tree and Pastor Kirk Eadie read four more scriptures. Two weeks worth of ornaments have been hung on the tree and the rest will each be placed on the Jessie Tree on Sunday December 23rd. Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Dec 6November 28, 2007
By Judy Bushy Happy Camp Chamber of Commerce has, for many years, held a Community Tree Lighting. This year is no exception and will be held on Thursday, December 6th in the Happy Camp District Forest Service Office on Highway 96. Lou Tiraterra, Sr. will be leading, with the Happy Camp Elementary School children, in Christmas Carols. There will be cider, cocoa and popcorn for those who come before supper. Santa will also make his traditional arrival to hear the boys and girls tell what they want for Christmas. Thank you to the Happy Camp Chamber of Commerce for continuing this long held tradition. Thank a board member when you see them, president is Chris Sorenson of Mosaic Press. Since last April when the new board took office, Karen Tolledo and Linda Zink from Scott Valley Bank have been appointed to take the place of Lehel G and Roberta Arneson who have resigned. Other Christmas events planned for Happy Camp in December are two Children's Christmas Parties. One Children's Christmas party will be held by the Happy Camp Lions club and the other by the Karuk Tribe of California but both are planned for December 15th. The Grange also is planning a Holiday Bazaar on December 1st at the Grange on 2nd Avenue in Happy Camp. A Happy Camp ChristmasDecember 25, 2001
What a great dinner we had!After weeks of rain and light snowfalls, Christmas in Happy Camp was sunny and unusually warm! We left our firesides to come together at the Karuk Community Center (the old elementary school cafeteria on 2nd Avenue) for another great holiday dinner. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas for years now, the dinners have provided a community meeting place and food for anyone who wants it. While it gives us a wonderful alternative to the traditional family dinner for those who are far from their loved ones, or who might not have a family, it also is welcomed by Happy Campers who just want to be with the people who live in our town, remote as it is from the rest of the world. Dinner is traditional. There’s always a turkey, dressing, ham, mashed potatoes, yams, green beans and corn, cranberry sauce and bread. At Thanksgiving we had green salad – this time someone made a big pink jello salad with marshmallows. A variety of beverages were served on a side table and at least three types of pies were served for dessert. Outside, children played on the lawn and dogs waited for their owners, while a few adults chatted with one another in the sunshine. These holiday dinners are very much appreciated. May they continue for many years to come!
