COMMUNITY PARTNERS RESTORING THE RANCH HOUSE

Gumba’s Family Pizza on Bonta Street in Blairsden is hosting a fundraiser to help in the rehabilitation efforts at White Sulphur Springs Ranch (WSSR) and the public is invited. On Wednesday September 25, from 4 to 9 PM, Gumba’s will donate 10% of all food purchases to the Mohawk Valley Stewardship Council (MVSC). This includes all dine in and takeout purchases. The raffle prize is a Smoker Barbeque Grill. Raffle tickets will be available all day at Gumba’s on September 25 and in front of the Graeagle Store and the Graeagle Frostee on Fridays and Saturdays preceding the event.

The MVSC is dedicated to preserving the history and heritage of WSSR. Restoration of the main ranch house is scheduled to begin this fall. It has been a long and difficult process to raise the necessary funds but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Many local contractors have stepped up to donate labor and materials, but additional funding is needed to continue the project.

The community support provided by Gumba’s is much appreciated.

He was a senior citizen, a longtime resident of Graeagle, and a part of the history of Plumas County. Paul Bianco’s grandfather came to Ellis Island from Italy in 1917, probably to escape the world war that was destroying Europe. Paul’s father was a World War II naval veteran and Paul was born in San Francisco in 1946. He was in his late 30’s, on a long horseback ride on the Pacific Crest Trail in 1985 when he stopped for a while in Graeagle. In his words he was “overwhelmed” by the appearance and ambiance of the community. He saw an impressive loo
