Sierra City Sesquicentennial!

The Sierra City Post Office will mark its 150th birthday on June 23, 2014.

Local history buffs propose that a celebration is in order to commemorate this sesquicentennial.  An event planning session will be held at the Sierra City Community hall on Monday, September 30th at 7:00 p.m. Community organizations, local businesses, and individuals are encouraged to attend and put in their two-cents-worth.
 
This is a better deal than when, prior to the establishment of the first post office, mail was delivered by the Pony Express via Marysville and Downieville at the rate of one dollar per letter.  If you don’t want to pony up the gas money to attend the meeting, send your suggestions to mnourse46@gmail.com.
