Mumbo Gumbo 2015

6 September 2015

Another Huge Success and a Sell Out!

Over 200 guests attended the second annual Mumbo Gumbo concert, outdoors, on the fifth of September, at the Nakoma Resort. It was a benefit to support the restoration of White Sulphur Springs Ranch and included a buffet dinner along with the popular dance music of Mumbo Gumbo. The authentic Cajun style dinner included Cajun ribs and chicken and andouille sausage jambalaya. The Band started at 7pm and with one break, continued on till 10. The backdrop was spectacular! People of all ages were dancing on the wooden patio and on the grass in front of the band….all of this looking out over the golf course and the mountains beyond.


The MVSC, stewards of the restoration of White Sulphur Springs Ranch, cooperated with the staff at Nakoma to produce a fun evening for all. Proceeds contributed to replenish the fund used to purchase adjacent land necessary to install a septic tank and leach field.


The winner of our raffle for a Samsung 40" LED Smart TV with Full HD-1080P was Jim Hunter from Sparks, Nevada (on the left below). Jim said he had never won anything like this before and was excited to try out his new television. The television was donated by Aaron's, lease to own, in Reno.

Thank you Aaron's of Reno for your generous support.

Remembering Paul Bianco

by Brian Martinez • 1 February 2025
He was a frequent visitor at the Mohawk Community Resource Center (MCRC) in Blairsden. He enjoyed the library and some of the other conveniences. As it is for so many residents of Eastern Plumas County, the resource center is a familiar and important community meeting place. In the course of his many visits, he got to know the MCRC coordinator, Holly Johnson. After a while and many conversations later, Holly realized that this guy had an important story to tell. 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
