Current Hours: Mon. thru Sat. 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Resting in the northern Sierra, above the fog and below the snow, the town appropriately named Paradise grew from overland stage stops with picturesque names like Toadtown, Dogtown and Whiskey Flat.
The first inhabitants of the Paradise Ridge were Maidu Tribes who made Butte County their home from about 1500 B.C. Today’s ConcowMaidu tribe are their descendants.
After gold was discovered in January 1848, prospectors headed to Paradise staking claims along the Ridge’s sparkling rivers and streams that carve their way through our stunning canyons.
The “gold fever” that led to the settlement of the Paradise Ridge also gave rise to one of our most popular annual events, the “Gold Nugget Days” celebration. In 1859, a 54-pound gold nugget was brought to Dogtown from the Willard mine, and the discovery of the “Dogtown Nugget” was heralded near and far. The event features a colorful parade, the hilarious Donkey Derby, and the crowning of the community’s Gold Nugget Queen.
In the fall, “Johnny Appleseed Days” stages a joyful festival of games, displays, music and food honoring the agricultural history of the region, including our historical apple orchards. As California’s oldest harvest festival, the event has been staged since 1888, harvest and plague permitting.
A post office was established in Dogtown in 1857, serving the thriving trading post. Lumber mills operated in the
1850s and 60s and families settled in the area. Railroad service was established in 1904, and as the twentieth century progressed, agrarians planned the Ridge. The Paradise Irrigation District provided water, and the Paradise Farm Center was formed. Growers of apples, prunes and pears utilized the railroad to speed their product to market. Around 1966 it was decided the
rapidly growing town of Paradise should incorporate, as the population had swelled to over 20,000 from 5,000 in just fifteen years. The Town of Paradise was incorporated on November 27, 1979.
Paradise was home to Yellowstone Kelly, a celebrated figure
of the American west. Luther Sage “Yellowstone” Kelly was a soldier, hunter, trapper, scout, adventurer and confidante of President Theodore Roosevelt. After a life of adventure, he and his wife Alice May retired to Paradise to establish an orchard on Clark Road. After the abandonment of the Butte County Railroad in the early 1970s, the 4.3 mile Paradise Memorial Trail was established, and renamed the “Yellowstone Kelly Heritage Trail” in 2017.
The ruts of the Overland Stage route through Paradise were paved long ago, but visitors will continue to visit this unique locale, finding delight in its beauty and a warm welcome in its people. On November 8, 2018, Paradise, Magalia and neighbors were devastated by the most destructive wildfire in California history. As we evolve and rebuild, we invite you to explore our remarkable community of indomitable pioneers.
By Mark Thorp Executive Director, Gold Nugget Museum
The Paradise Depot Museum was dedicated and opened to the public in July 2007, adding the crowning touch to the new Paradise Community Park. The Train Depot showcases the shared history of the Ridge, with displays commemorating the logging, mining, and agricultural periods, for which the Ridge is widely known. From passengers to poultry, turpentine to matchsticks, the Depot Museum will share exhibits as time allows, and volunteers come forward.
The caboose, purchased by the Gold Nugget Museum, is adjacent to the Depot Museum. It has been cleared by the Town of Paradise for restoration, and periodic fundraisers will be held to fund the project.
The Paradise Depot opened in March 1904, one of four depots of the Butte County Railroad, (BCRR) built to serve Diamond Match Company operations in Stirling City and Barber (Chico). BCRR soon added passenger and cargo services and Paradise became the busiest depot on the route. At that time it formed the heart of a “new Paradise downtown” and was the engine of economic development for the town, particularly through the marketing of produce.
A famous wreck occurred in 1909, when a new engineer, coming down from Magalia, lost control of the train. The crash occurred between Pearson and Neal Roads, killing two people. Operated by Southern Pacific (SP), the last train passed through in 1974. Tracks were removed by SP and the roadbed now serves as the Yellowstone Kelly Memorial Trail for bikers and hikers. Discussions, with tentative plans, continue for the development of the Yellowstone Kelly Memorial Trail to connect with the Upper Ridge and south Chico, thus extending the trail to more than 20 miles for recreational use.

We welcome everyone! Please join us.
The Gold Nugget Museum, destroyed by the Camp Fire on November 8, 2018, was incorporated as Gold Nugget Days, Inc. in 1973. Its mission is to preserve and protect local heritage through the collection and the provision of community education programs. The smaller Depot Museum in the Paradise Community Park, untouched by the fire, will be open during the celebrated Party in the Park, Wednesdays from 6pm to 8:30pm, or with special “speaker” events throughout the year. As always, the museum depends on a small staff and many, many volunteers.
Our goal continues to make the Gold Nugget Museum a destination for tourists and for our community not only to learn about the history of the Ridge: Paradise, Magalia, Stirling City, and Inskip, respectively, but also to become part of that history. Pre Camp Fire, we sponsored a number of annual events, such as the Days of Living History, in which the entire family could participate, and enriched Northern California schools with two unique programs that were part of the required curriculum for California history: children spent an entire day on the Museum grounds living as if in the 1850s in the Pioneer School Program or learning about the Native Maidu traditions in the Maidu School Program, becoming part of the history they studied in
the classroom and learning what our ancestors, native groups and pioneers undertook to survive.
Breathing new life into the renovated Gold Nugget Museum, visitors may experience firsthand the natural and historic beauty of the Gold Nugget Museum and the Paradise Ridge.
Your Gold Nugget Museums are actively engaged in bringing our events back to the Ridge as we continue to rebuild our museum and community. Two successful years of Gold Nugget Days, the re-introduction of the Melodrama, and enhancements to our Queen Contest, are but a few of the activities we’re currently engaged in. School programs, Nuggetville, online researching, gosh… even silos to be placed on the new museum location at 475 Pearson Road!
As part of our new exhibit rebuild, your Gold Nugget Museum is in possession of the “C-hook,” or the item that caused the notorious Ridge Camp Fire in November of 2018. On display, our docents are able and willing to share the facts concerning the C-hook—how it happened, who was affected, etc. We’re here to assist you, our community, and the many visitors who have questions about our beloved home. Stop on by from Monday through Friday from 12-4pm, or visit our website at www.gnmuseum.art.
In January of 2022, the Gold Nugget Museum obtained material from the Butte County District Attorney, Michael Ramsey, which is of profound historical significance to the Ridge. Originally collected from PG&E during the Camp Fire investigation, this material includes the C-hook that, when it failed, sparked the fire.
The cast iron hook, now on display at the Gold Nugget Museum, was part of transposition tower 27/222, installed in
the Feather River Canyon in the early 1920s. This original equipment was subject to nearly 100 years of intense, windcaused rotational wear which slowly cut into the metal until there was only 2/16th of an inch of material left when the hook broke.
When the hook fell from its hanger hole, it swung down and made contact with the tower sending 115 kilovolts into the steel and aluminum structure. Sparks and molten metal fell to the tinder-dry brush below, igniting the devastation from which the community is now healing.
54-pound goldThe hook can be viewed at the museum.
Acircuit-riding preacher named A.S. Parsons from Cherokee moved to Magalia and began building a small church near Coutolenc Road and [Old] Skyway in 1896. The interior of the building was unfinished a few years later when he moved away.
Carrie Brydon came to Magalia from Canada at the turn of the century. Feeling that the rough mining town needed a church to shed a Godly influence, she was in favor of moving the church to the center of the developing town. A lot was donated by the Perry family “down the road a piece” to a new location off [Old] Skyway and Glover Lane. Money was raised to move and finish the interior, add a vestibule, a belfry and steeple. At its completion in 1904 the cornerstone was laid. In 1993 the church was moved yet again to its present location. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1982. There have been few changes to the chapel. The windows are from the 1890s, the original bell tower and the pump organ purchased from Annie Bidwell is still on the altar. The sanctuary was enlarged and a modern heating and air-conditioning unit, lighting and sound system were installed in the expansion without detracting from the grace and charm of the original
building.
126 years of service have passed; the church bells still ring. The current Pastors Tony and Laura McLane now call the faithful to services each Sunday morning and they continue to celebrate weddings and remembrances. The McLanes arrived with a vision to rejuvenate the church and with God’s will, bring the church back to its former glory. Plans for updating the fellowship hall are in effect, all the while preserving the beautiful history of the little chapel.
The McLanes plan to offer a youth group, a recovery program and men and women’s meetings, Biblical counseling and Bible studies. The chapel and fellowship hall will be available for community events and rental for weddings, meetings, play productions and Bible studies. The church remains a refuge to the community in times of adversity as it was after the Camp Fire and continues today, helping the community with a resource center, food pantry, clothing, and household items. Our love for this little chapel inspires us to preserve this historic treasure as a beacon of faith to Magalia and surrounding communities.

13700 Old Skyway, Magalia (530) 877-7963
Stirling City is a small community located at 3,570 ft. on the Paradise Ridge, in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada. After a lovely drive up the Skyway, only 16 miles above Paradise, through Magalia, and you’ll find the historical town of Stirling City. It was built in 1903 to house mill workers and loggers of the Diamond Match Company. Many of the original buildings still stand after Stirling City’s 1931 “Camp Fire” when the downtown district burned.
For the full story of Stirling City history you’ll want to stop at the Museum, operated by the Stirling City Historical Society. Plan on spending an hour or so at the Museum as there is a lot to see. Call ahead for a tour, 873-2143 or 873-0583.
About a block further up Skyway from the Museum is the Community Hall. Built in 1906 as a movie theater, it is now the spot for town meetings, wedding receptions, and where the Stirling Quilters Club sew “Flag Quilts” for local veterans. Since 2013, they have made over 100 quilts for our veterans.
Continuing up Skyway, another block or so, is the Stirling City Volunteer Fire Station. On Thanksgiving weekend, the volunteers hold their annual Christmas Tree Fundraiser with a bake sale and unique museum gift items. The firefighters cut the trees in the high country and they are sold fresh to support the Volunteer Fire Station.
At the west end of Mica Street is the beautiful Cemetery. Over one hundred years of Stirling residents rest here, including many “Unknowns.” See page 13.
After your Stirling City visit, continue north out of town on Skyway for a beautiful drive over the top of the mountain to Butte Meadows, only another 16 miles. (This route is not recommended in winter due to snow. Folks should check with Butte Co. Public Works.)
A must see is Stirling’s crown jewel, Merlo Park. Take a relaxing stroll around the ponds and through the trees and statuary. Located on Retson Road at the south end of town, the Park opens Mother’s Day. Call to confirm opening times 530 873-1658

Table Mountain Masonic Lodge # 124 was born in the days of the gold rush. In 1850, the Masons met along the Feather River at mining camps and formed the lodge in 1857 in Oroville. As the gold production there decreased, Table Mountain Masonic Lodge moved to Cherokee, and eventually into the bigger community of Paradise in 1936 where they built their impressive stone building. Membership growth required a large building expansion in 1957. Thanks to Providence, the building survived the 2018 Camp Fire intact.

It has hosted weddings, anniversaries, parties, business meetings, memorials, and a wide variety of community events. It has also hosted various church services.

It’s been 102 years since Grandpa Perry Noble, wife Ethel and young son Vincent moved to Paradise in 1921 and planted their apple orchard. One of the reasons they chose Paradise was the promise of a steady supply of water for agriculture afforded by the Paradise Irrigation District, established in 1916. Noble Orchards remains a family owned and operated business, with grandson, Jim Noble and his wife Laurie preserving the family legacy.
Over the years the Nobles have faced unique farming challenges, including apple-loving deer and bears, but none the magnitude of the devastating Camp Fire.
The original stone building at Noble Orchards was constructed by Grandpa Perry near the end of World War II and was located near the original farmhouse. The original wood shake roof had been replaced with tin roofing. The intense heat of the fire collapsed the roof into the building. The building’s granite fieldstone walls (gathered from the orchards) remained standing.
The mangled tin roof was thoroughly wedged inside the building. It was a challenge to remove it, but the debris removal crew from D Line were determined to save the original stone walls. They strategically pulled out huge pieces of tin, one at a time, and the walls were saved.
Our orchards were not heavily damaged by the fire. Agricultural fields are pruned, mowed, and irrigated. Damage to fruit trees mostly occurred to those trees near burned buildings, but Grandpa Perry Noble’s stone building still stands.
The new home of Joy Lyn’s Candies is on the corner of Pearson and Black Olive, across the street from Paradise Community Park.
By Bill HartleyJoy Lyn’s Candies was founded in 1969, in the home of Don and Joan Memmer. Don, a professional candy maker, converted their home patio into a candy kitchen, mini factory and tiny retail store. The couple named the business after the middle names of their two daughters.
Pam and Bill Hartley purchased Joy Lyn’s Candies in 2000, becoming the fourth owners of this locally beloved business. Each owner has served as a tutor/mentor to the next, passing on recipes and techniques.
The Hartleys introduced new products such as artisanal truffles, caramel apples, and seasonal pumpkin pie truffles. In the spring, Joy Lyn’s features delicious chocolate-dipped strawberries.
Through their membership in Retail Confectioners International (RCI), the Hartleys continued to learn new techniques, recipes, and marketing concepts from fellow candy makers. They traveled throughout Europe, learning more about chocolate and specialty candy making from their continental colleagues. By 2005, the tiny retail store became too small for their growing business and they expanded the shop and factory.
In 2006, the Hartleys founded the Paradise Chocolate Fest, which
benefits many youth organizations on the Paradise Ridge. In 2008, they created Sierra Nevada Beer Brittle through a partnership with Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. Sierra Nevada Beer Brittle is now one of their bestselling products. Joy Lyn’s Candies has been recognized by RCI with more than 20 awards for quality, packaging, marketing, innovation, “best holiday ideas” and “best new piece.”
In 2018, Pam and Bill sold the business to their son, Glenn and daughter-inlaw Jody just three weeks prior to the disastrous Camp Fire that destroyed the business, their homes and 90% of the Town of Paradise.
Although the shop and factory were lost in the fire, Glenn and Jody, with the help of their parents Pam and Bill, decided to rebuild Joy Lyn’s Candies in Paradise. In January 2019, the family purchased a small building at 220 Pearson Road that survived the fire. The entire building was remodeled, complete with candy kitchen and walk-in freezer and on October 1, 2020 Joy Lyn’s reopened. The business remains family -operated as Glenn and Jody’s children, Will and Haley, help out and Bill and Pam continue to lend a hand.
Joy Lyn’s Candies takes pride in its reputation for quality and freshness using natural ingredients and no preservatives. Joy Lyn’s is proud of its 53-year history of Heavenly Candies Made in Paradise.

Noble Grand Humbug, Pair-O-Dice 711 ECV
Pair-o-Dice 711 of E Clampus Vitus, chartered in 1966, is dedicated to the preservation of western history, the absurdity that lies within that realm, and the caretaking of the widows and orphans – especially the widows! We have been an active component of Paradise and its community functions since our inception. Throughout the year we can be found volunteering at all levels of community functions, from charity breakfasts to the setting out of flags along Skyway on holidays. Our legendary Donkey Derby, held in conjunction with Gold Nugget Days, draws a crowd as the stubborn braying jackasses traverse our professionally engineered obstacle course. During nearly every parade of any significance, our beloved firetruck Jezebel, and her honorable and rotund operators and riders, may be found alongside the world-renowned Precision Drill Team, entertaining all they pass.
Throughout the Ridge, and Butte County, one can find many of our monumental erections of historical significance. These include (but are not limited to): the now absent (safely stored until the property owner
rebuilds) Optimo Rail Stop, the Old Paradise Depot, the Magalia Depot, the Steifer Powerhouse, and the historical erection of the Camp Fire Memorial on Old Skyway.
Our many events support our Christmas Children’s Fund, providing gifts and food to the less fortunate of Butte County. We look forward to continuing our loving relationship with the community. When you see a red shirt passing by, wish them a “Satisfactory Day!”
Over the decades, the Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce sponsored a variety of signs welcoming visitors to Paradise. Until the Skyway opened, signs were located some distance from the Ridge. The Chamber lobbied the state for many years to build a modern highway to shorten the route. The Skyway opened to two-way traffic on July 30, 1950.
In 1969, local contractor Charles M. Todd presented plans to “erect a sign that will afford a ‘Welcome’ in a larger dimension and more fitting materials than the present existing one.” Todd designed the new sign with its bandsaw halo and timbers from a 1914 train trestle. Funding came from community organizations. From 1972 until November 8, 2018, the distinctive sign welcomed all with the hope that they “may find Paradise to be all its name implies.”
After the destruction of the iconic welcome sign in the Camp Fire of 2018, a committee formed to seek community input and funding to raise a new sign. This effort was directed by Bret Matteis, Former Resident, Director of Construction and Development, Oxford Suites Hotels and Charles Brooks, Resident, Founder, Rebuild Paradise Foundation.
“No matter where we were coming from, when we passed the sign, we knew we were nearly home.”– Bret Matteis
Bret Matteis grew up in Paradise and moved to Oregon after graduating from Chico State. When Bret saw the images of the “Welcome to Paradise Sign” burning, he immediately reached out through social media for assistance in rebuilding the sign.
Several Paradise residents pledged support, and an ad-hoc committee lead a community-driven design process, managing fundraising, engineering, right-of-way clearances, permits, maintenance and ownership agreements, bids, and construction. Paradise Rotary Club and Paradise Recreation and Park District stepped up to take on the ownership and management of the new Paradise Gateway Sign.

Welcome to Paradise!
As the Mayor of this beautiful mountain community, I am proud to introduce you to a town that has risen from the ashes and is getting stronger by the day. Paradise is a place where families can thrive, a community that is rebuilding from the ground up, and a destination that offers the perfect blend of modern facilities and historic charm in a naturally beautiful environment.
Paradise has a rich history, with indigenous settlements as well as gold rush and timber industries, and we have retained the unique charm of our mountain community while embracing modern amenities. Join us each year at our long-running Gold Nugget Days and Johnny Appleseed Days events to see what we mean!
After the devastating Camp Fire that occurred in 2018, our town was faced with unprecedented challenges. But we rose to the occasion
with resilience and determination, and today, we are building a brand new community with resilience in mind.
One of our proudest achievements is our strong rebuilding effort. Our community has come together to rebuild over 2,000 homes, 350 businesses, and infrastructure creating a town that is better than ever before. We have invested in cutting-edge technology, including an Early Warning Siren system and enhanced building standards, to make our town safer and more sustainable, and with our sewer project we have taken steps to protect our environment while providing the best quality of life for our residents and visitors.
Paradise is a great place for families to settle down and thrive. We have excellent schools, recreational facilities, and parks that offer ample opportunities for families to enjoy outdoor activities and create lasting memories. Our town has a strong sense of community, where neighbors know each other by name and come together in times of need. The support and resilience of our residents have been instrumental in our rebuilding efforts, and we are proud to call Paradise our home.
As the Mayor of Paradise, I invite you to experience the beauty and resilience of our town. Whether you are looking to relocate, visit, or invest, Paradise has something to offer to everyone. Come see for yourself how we have rebuilt our community, retained our historic charm, and created a town that is poised for a bright future. We look forward to welcoming you to Paradise, where you can experience our strong sense of community spirit.
In the 5th year of recovery after the Camp Fire, the Town’s recovery projects are moving into construction after years of planning.
The Paradise sewer is one of the most important projects for the rebuild of Paradise. Having a sewer would improve Paradise economic development in two ways: Affordable housing: Lack of a sewer system’s dispersal of high-volume wastewater impedes the construction of affordable apartments and condos. The sewer would be built along primary roads in Paradise, meaning affordable housing would be near evacuation routes so more people could leave faster.
Commercial business: A sewer would increase size, type, and number of commercial businesses in the downtown area. Septic systems can only handle so much wastewater, so businesses like restaurants, hair salons, and other businesses producing high amounts of wastewater are limited in their services.
Where would it start and where would it end?
Plans for a public sewer system in Paradise have been in the works since 1979, and for the last ten years, the service area has been designated as a 18 square mile “triangle” including Skyway, Clark, and Pearson Roads.
The proposed region would create an estimated ½ million gallons of wastewater per day, using gravity to flow 18 miles to the existing Wastewater and Pollution Control Plant off Chico River Road, operated by the City of Chico.
What’s new in the timeline?
Currently, the project is in the Design and Right of Way Phase. This means the Town is working to design the details of the system, and working with property owners for any access needed. Most of the pipeline will be on public property; however the Town is currently working with are a few private property owners.
Best case scenario: when would the sewer be finished?
• Currently construction is planned to start in late 2024.
• If all goes according to plan, the sewer could be completed at the end of 2026.

Early Warning Siren: safety for our residents in an emergency
Great news! The 21 Early Warning Sirens are being installed at the time of this publication, with the system expected to be fully operational by fire season. The first audible test of the sirens will take place on June 15th at 10:00 a.m. You will hear a “This is a test of the Paradise Early Warning Sirens” followed by a 30-second high-low siren sound. The test will conclude with “This has been a test of the Paradise Early Warning Sirens.” Audible tests will be performed on the first Saturday of each month at 12pm. For more information, visit townofparadise.com/recovery/ page/town-paradise-early-warningsirens.
Starting in 2022, the Town embarked on a 5-year effort to repave all public roads in the Town of Paradise. Funded through a grant from FEMA and the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA), the Town is paving 20 miles in 2023, and around 30 miles in both 2024 and 2025. Roads being paved this year include Country Club Dr, Stearns Rd, Bille, and Pearson. Construction on these areas began April 2 and will continue through the dry season.
You can find a map of the planned paving work, as well as an alphabetical list of roads and the year in which they are scheduled for paving on the Town’s website.
The Town completed our Transportation Master plan, a holistic analysis of the Paradise transportation network. This plan outlines critical gaps in infrastructure, conflicts, pinch points and other barriers to potential future evacuation events. Get more information and read the plan at townofparadise.com/ pwe/page/transportation-recovery-efforts.
Using this information, the Town was able to apply for funding through the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery program and received nearly $200 million to construct evacuation route improvements in Paradise.

It’s always a positive sign when a district’s student population is growing. With 1,585 students, Paradise Unified School District (PUSD) finishes the 2022-2023 school year with a spirited and productive community of learners, enriching the educational experience for everyone involved. With enrollment the highest it’s been since before the Camp Fire, PUSD is poised to increase growth and extends its sincere thanks to the students, families, and community for the support and
confidence that sustains the district.
This was the first year that all three elementary schools offered Preschool and Transitional Kindergartens. With larger enrollments projected in 2023-2024, space is limited. Please let friends and families know they need to enroll now to reserve a spot for their child. Enrollment has begun: register online now at www.pusdk12.org under “enroll.”
This past year PUSD has been focused on three main goals.
Paradise High School will start the 2023-2024 school year with the grand opening of the new Student Services/ Classroom Building and Modernized Science and Library rooms. This new structure features a total of 23 new classrooms for our students.
Paradise Junior High will open with new pickleball courts, updated fields and two modernized wings housing 90 percent of the site’s classrooms. The school also features a new state-of-theart indoor exercise room and outdoor fitness equipment.
Pine Ridge Elementary in Magalia is on schedule to finish all permanent classrooms to be ready for students in 2023-2024. Work includes a new kindergarten playground and updates to the gym, library and cafeteria.
Cedarwood Elementary in Magalia will be housed at the Pine Ridge Elementary School site for the 2023-2024 school year while Cedarwood constructs new classrooms and removes portables.
• Goal #1: Improving student learning. We have been working closely with Douglas Reeves, a top education consultant. Dr. Reeves is working with PUSD on building Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) to improve learning by developing focus and improved instructional practices.
• Goal #2: Attendance. Among the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic is decreased attendance. When students miss school, they can fall behind in their learning and develop problematic behavior. Each site has developed a plan to address this issue.
• Goal #3: Emotional health. In addition to counseling, PUSD has adopted RULER, a program designed to help individuals develop emotional intelligence by recognizing, understanding, labeling, expressing, and regulating their emotions. Paradise High School is working with a group called Inflexion to build community and culture, leading to improved instruction and learning. You will be hearing much more about this in the future.
The three goals’ maxims identified by staff and students are Connected, Hard Working, and Future Focused. Our goal is to not only make these maxims a focus at PHS, but across our entire community. PUSD staff is proud to serve our students and community and we look forward to many more years of service.
The Paradise Ridge is a community that supports and values its variety of exceptional school choices. In addition to the excellent programs and facilities of the Paradise Unified School District, charter and private schools offer alternative options. The Ridge is also fortunate in its proximity to higher education with access to both a multi-campus community college and California state university.

Who are we? The Rebuild Paradise Foundation (RPF) is a local non-profit, dedicated to the long-term recovery of Butte County’s Camp Fire disasteraffected areas. We have several resources to offset the cost of pre-construction expenses. To date, we have distributed almost 2 million dollars in grants with more to come.
Our Programs include:
• Missing Middle Grant - this grant helps cover preconstruction expenses: Survey, Architect and Engineering fees and Water related expenses. We reimburse up to $5000 in these categories.
• Septic grant - this grant helps cover the costly expenses of replacing or repairing a septic tank. Applicants may receive up to $7500 in septic reimbursement depending on income level and septic costs.
• Master Floor Plan Library - provides access to low-cost house plans that have been mastered through the Town of Paradise and Butte County. (We are currently working on bringing all master plans up to California’s new building code updates, with an expected release of spring 2023).
• Mapping Resource - check out our mapping tool at www. rebuildparadise.org/mapping. The maps have layers that show each property’s septic capacity, survey status, and flood zones.
• Drone Program - offered complimentary to allow Design Professionals the opportunity to increase their design efficiency, translating to savings for the property owner.
• Tree Give-aways - follow us on social media for monthly giveaways.
Check out our web site, www.rebuildparadisefoundation, where we enjoy sharing stories of those rebuilding and to empower others to return. The site showcases the different homes and styles currently being rebuilt. You will also find inspiring photos of old and new beauty arising on the Ridge.

Paradise Irrigation District (PID) provides clean, safe—and delicious!—water to Paradise households. Although much has changed in our community since the Camp Fire, PID continues its legacy of more than a century of supplying great water and great service to the Ridge.
PID customers include more than 8,900 households which receive water at PID’s “active” rate; while all metering is not complete throughout the district yet post-fire, most of these customers have meters and FEMA-required backflow devices. An additional 4,100 customers pay a “ready-to-serve” rate until they build on their parcels and require water.
PID’s water is great—and ongoing tests prove it. Even before the Camp Fire, PID tested water throughout the community each week. After the fire, testing was increased to assure the purity of the water in the replaced supply lines.
PID’s main water source is Paradise Lake, located above the town, about 10 miles from the center of Paradise (off of Coutolenc Road) and outside of the burn scar area. The district’s Treatment Plant was not damaged in the fire and continues to operate 24/7, filtering and processing the water for Paradise—including even more testing in the process.
The result? Water that community residents have depended upon—and enjoyed—for decades. Before the fire, blind taste tests at community events showed PID water as the top-rated water, compared to water samples from Chico, Magalia and bottled water. We’ve heard from many residents who left the Ridge after the fire that one of the things they miss most (besides all those trees!) is PID’s water.
Although PID may be operated with small-town values such as great customer service and down-home friendliness, we’re sophisticated in how we help our customers protect our water—a precious community resource.
PID customers can monitor their water use with the free Dropcountr app. It’s available for Android and iOS devices as well as from your computer. The app can give you alerts about possible leaks as well as hourly water use information—great for everyday living as well as giving you peace of mind if you’re away from home on vacation. Point your phone camera at the QR code here to be taken directly to the download link. Or, visit PIDWater.com and look for Wise Water Use>Monitor Your Use.
A small group of property owners were formerly PID customers but have opted to “disconnect” from the district; if you’re buying a bare lot within PID’s boundaries, the district strongly recommends that you check directly with PID’s office to ensure the property has not disconnected (which could cost you more in meter installs and capacity fees). Don’t rely upon the MLS listing or the seller—just give PID a call at 530.877.4971 and we’ll give you the parcel’s status so you’ll know before entering escrow.
There’s a lot of rebuilding going on right now and that means new yards are in abundance on the Ridge. If you’re thinking about what to plant in your yard this summer, head over to Paradise Irrigation District’s (PID) Demonstration Garden to discover a few ideas.
The garden, located just north of the parking lot of PID’s office (6332 Clark Road) is open from dawn to dusk. Signage helps visitors identify the various planting areas as they wander along the graveled pathways.
residents Ward and Cheryl Habriel explore possibilities for their landscaping at PID’s Demonstration Garden. The garden is open every day during daylight hours and provides information about planting, irrigating and hardscape ideas for Ridge landscapes.
Included are areas featuring established plantings focused on low-water use, bird/butterfly attractants, fire resistant, native plants and shaded areas. Semi-permeable hardscape materials are also identified and on display.
Today, the Feather River Health Foundation (FRHF) is the largest philanthropic foundation located within our community dedicated to improving overall health, wellness, and well-being on the Ridge.
Since the Camp Fire, the FRHF has partnered with other foundations such as the North Valley Community Foundation to expand its philanthropic capacity and address unmet health and wellness needs in our community.
Currently, the FRHF in collaboration with the North Valley Community Foundation, is sponsoring and facilitating a Healthy Communities Collaborative of stakeholders that is developing a preventative health plan for Paradise and Butte County. Their concentration is on promoting healthy eating, physical movement, activity, and connection and meaning. This plan is near completion and will be launched by the end of 2023.
Our foundation is also part of an Adventist Health established planning group which includes the Town of Paradise focused on improving the level of existing health and wellness services for the Ridge. This involves advocating for the restoration of reliable 24/7 in-patient care, and the redevelopment and utilization of the old hospital campus for additional local and regional health and well-being programs and services.
As part of our foundation’s continuing commitment to Ridge recovery, the FRHF operates the Inspire Hope Project. After nearly two years, the Project has distributed 172 truckloads of new household furnishings and goods valued at $8.6 million. These valuable goods continue to be distributed through several non-profits to qualifying Camp Fire survivors and others in need. Our Feather River Health Foundation is committed to being an advocate and catalyst for improved health and wellness services for Paradise and the Paradise Ridge.
The Boys and Girls Club of the North Valley (BGCNV) continues to broaden its impact on the Ridge by providing critical resources at three club sites; a fourth opens soon with the Teen Center on Skyway. BGCNV are expanding Ridge summer programs, all while providing essential case management services. As the Ridge rebuilds, BGCNV is investing in more opportunities to positively impact kids, families, and schools in creative and innovative ways.
BGCNV has been working collaboratively within the county and school district to support community initiatives around mental health, suicide prevention and social / emotional learning. Each year, the BGCNV provides direct services to more than 1,200 youth in the North Valley, with wrap-around services for families.
At BGCNV we know that highquality out-of-school programs and wrap-around services will change the trajectory of a young person’s life. We are committed to empowering youth and families to reach their full potential. As more local children and families return to the Ridge, BGCNV fosters positive friendships and adult relationships, and provides a safe place for children to go every day after school and throughout the summer. We still have so much more to do for our youth. Kids in our community need us to rally and remain committed to helping them reach their full potential.

By Chris Rauen Executive Director, Magalia Community Park
The Magalia Community Center (MCC), 13917 South Park Drive, opened its doors in the summer of 2021 in response to the need for a public gathering place for Magalia and all Upper Ridge communities post-Camp Fire. It has become the community hub, holding monthly major events and fundraisers, weekly exercise, and yoga classes. MCC offers meeting space for local organizations and provides several essential afterschool activities for youth of all ages.
The main building consists of a meeting hall and restrooms, and is available for rent for birthday parties, wedding receptions, baby showers, reunions, club meetings, and more.
As part of its mission, the Center plays a major role in the rebuild and recovery of Magalia by offering space for monthly Upper Ridge “Town Hall” style meetings featuring guest speakers from several county entities as well as local and regional representatives. MCC operates as a resource center
for residents during local emergencies and is often open to the public for Wi-Fi and charging cell phones and laptops.
The Community Center and greater park project, which includes South Pines Disc Golf, is almost entirely volunteer-driven and has enjoyed invaluable support from volunteers and donors beyond Magalia. The disc golf course provides an additional recreational venue for the Upper Ridge and fills the void left by the closing of the ball golf course.
The Community Center is a project of Magalia Community Park, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which leases the 40 acres and two buildings that were formerly home to the Paradise Pines Golf Course.
If you would like to get involved, whatever your talents might be, Magalia Community Park welcomes you to contact the Community Center anytime at 530-413-9158 or email at info@ magaliacommunitypark.org.
Whether you’re looking for a quiet retreat or an active and engaged community, Paradise and Magalia have something to offer everyone.
Paradise and Magalia (aka “the Ridge”) offers a wide range of affordable housing options. From cozy bungalows to sprawling estates to horse ranches and mobile home parks, there is something for everyone in these communities. Additionally, there are a range of excellent school options, including charter schools, providing families more choices when it comes to education.
The Ridge topography is a limiting factor in community growth. With no urban sprawl, the community maintains small-town charm and character, while still offering many of the amenities of a larger city.
Recreation opportunities abound on the Ridge, with easy access to hiking, fishing, an equestrian center, and other outdoor activities. The community also has an active arts scene, with local artists and galleries. Service clubs and local organizations stage a range of festivals and events each year.
Our signature events include the summer Party in the Park series with live bands and vendors, Paradise Chocolate Fest, Johnny Appleseed Days, and a four-day Gold Nugget Days celebration, highlighting the area’s history and culture.
One of the most attractive features of living on the Ridge is the strong community spirit. Despite the challenges the community has faced in recent years, residents have come together to support one another and rebuild. This sense of community is what makes the Ridge such a uniquely special place to live, and it is one of the reasons why so many people choose to call it home.
When purchasing a home in Paradise, or Magalia, there are some things you should be aware of to make an informed decision. One of the first things to consider are private roads. Many homes in Paradise are located on publicly owned and maintained roads; however there are also many private roads, which means that the responsibility for maintaining and repairing the road falls on the homeowners. This can be an additional expense that buyers should factor in when considering a property.
Another important consideration is CC&Rs: covenants, conditions, and restrictions. These legal documents stipulate rules and guidelines for a neighborhood. Examples include acceptable uses of the property, types of structures allowed, and even the color of the homes. Buyers should review the CC&Rs before purchasing a property to ensure that they are comfortable with the restrictions in place.
Septic systems are also the rule on the Ridge, and prospective buyers should have the properties septic system (if present) inspected by a qualified professional to ensure that it is in good working order.
Despite these considerations, there are many distinctive features of the Paradise Ridge community that make our community a desirable place to live. One of the most notable is the absence of tract homes. Paradise was and is a community of individually built homes. Each home is unique, with its own style and character. This gives the community a unique charm and creates a sense of individuality.
Finding a reliable and experienced real estate agent can be a crucial step in buying or selling a property. The right realtor® can make a significant difference in your experience, whether you are a first-time homebuyer or an experienced investor. Members of the Paradise Association of Realtors will be able to connect you with any first-time home buyer programs and other available grants and subsidies that may help turn your dream of home ownership into reality.
Finding the right realtor® requires some research and careful consideration. By looking for a local realtor®, asking for referrals, doing your research, scheduling an interview, checking licensing and certifications, looking for a good personality fit, and being clear about your expectations, you can find a reliable and experienced realtor® who can help you achieve your real estate goals.

up to $100,000 in down-payment assistance. These loans are also deferred, meaning there are no payments required for 30 years. The interest rate is 1% simple interest which accrues for the life of the loan and is not forgiven. These funds traditionally combine with a first mortgage to make homeownership more affordable; however, with survivors receiving PG&E settlements, these funds can be combined with FVT funds offering no monthly payments for lowerincome households.
Even if you don’t know where to start, stop by the Town’s Housing Department (5555 Skyway), give them a call (530-872-6291x122), or drop them an email (housing@ townofparadise.com) to learn more about how they can help.
Financing options are still available to households wanting to return home. Whether you were a homeowner or renter at the time of the fire, the Town of Paradise has funds to help you return. And the terms of this financing are amazing!
The Town’s Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation/ Reconstruction program can help finance the rebuilding of a modest home. These funds are for households who owned a home that was destroyed in the Camp Fire. Whether you need assistance with the entire rebuild process or just enough to finish your project, the Town’s Housing Technicians are ready and willing to help. Loans are deferred, which means there are no payments required for 30 years. Loans for between $2,000 and $426,482 and are paid directly to the contractors. The interest rate is 3% simple interest which accrues for the first 10 years only and interest is forgiven on the 20th anniversary of your loan; keep in mind that is the interest only that is forgiven--the principal amount is never forgiven.
The Town’s First-Time Homebuyer program is a bit of a misnomer. All Camp Fire survivors who lost a home (owned or rented) and have not purchased another, might qualify for
Have you looked on Zillow lately? Most homes on the market in Paradise are listed at over $400,000. What is going on? Paradise has always offered affordable housing, right?! You could blame the high prices on demand, supply issues, COVID or greed; however, a small group of local contractors are looking to keep Paradise homes affordable by offering smaller homes at reasonable prices, with price points at $350,000 and under.
The buyer applies to get prequalified for financing, then finds a builder to review floor plans and view their lots. The Town is ready to assist with this process or the home buyer can opt to secure their own financing and builder independently.
To help keep costs low, some builders are using pre-approved floor plans from Rebuild Paradise’s free Residential Floor Plan Library. Once the right home package is found, a purchase contract is drawn up and the builder constructs the home. The buyer continues to work with their lender(s) so when the Certificate of Occupancy is issued, escrow closes, and the buyer moves in. If interested, contact a local builder to see if they are offering this program or contact the Town’s Housing Department at 530-872-6291x122 or housing@ townofparadise.com.
The State has allocated $55,000,000 for the construction of affordable multifamily housing units in Paradise and construction has begun! A total of 290 units will be built, as long as all funding is obtained.

REBUILDING TOGETHER BECAUSE COMMUNITY STARTS AT HOME
Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has resumed work to underground electric powerlines after winter weather slowed down construction progress. The company has also started work on some new projects, including one in Magalia.
“PG&E is committed to undergrounding distribution powerlines throughout the Town of Paradise and portions of the distribution powerlines in Magalia and is on track to complete currently scheduled work in 2025,” said Joe Wilson, vice president of PG&E’s North Valley and Sierra Region. “We are working closely with the Town of Paradise and the County of Butte to ensure our work is well coordinated to minimize impacts to the communities.”
In April, PG&E started undergrounding powerlines along Drexel Drive in Magalia. The first segment of this underground work also includes Cascade Drive and portions of Carver Drive and West Park Drive, including cul-de-sacs along these streets and portions of Ponderosa Way and Potomac Drive. Work on this project will last through the summer. In May, PG&E will start the second Magalia phase.
In Paradise, PG&E has built more than 90 miles of underground powerlines. PG&E has done work along all major roads in the Town and dozens of smaller side streets. About 13 active undergrounding projects are now underway in Paradise, including the areas of Redbud Drive, Whatever Lane, Cypress Lane and Foster, Pentz, Elliott, Buschmann and Nunneley roads. When complete, about 200 miles of powerlines will be undergrounded in the Paradise and portions of Magalia. PG&E’s contractors and subcontractors are trenching and boring to build the underground conduit to hold insulated powerlines. There will be traffic controls in the areas of active construction to keep crews and motorists safe. Residents in the affected neighborhoods are notified by letter, email and/ or phone calls, which include information on how residents can obtain answers to their questions. PG&E will arrange for modification of Paradise and Magalia customers’ electric service panels to accept power from underground powerlines. The company also rebuilt 75 miles of powerlines underground within the North Complex Fire footprint in Berry Creek and nearby communities in eastern Butte County. In 2019, PG&E announced it would rebuild powerlines underground in the Town of Paradise and portions of the distribution powerlines Magalia as it helps the communities recover from the Camp Fire. In 2021, PG&E announced it is undergrounding 10,000 miles of distribution powerlines in high-fire-risk areas in the coming years and to date has undergrounded more than 250 miles in high fire-risk areas. For more information, visit www.pge/com/undergrounding
Undergrounding is part of PG&E’s Community Wildfire Safety Program, which was launched in 2018 to help keep customers and communities safe in the face of growing wildfire risk
PG&E began undergrounding powerlines in Paradise in 2019 and portions of Magalia in April 2023, as of May they have completed more than 90 miles of the 200 miles currently scheduled. They expect to complete the work in 2025.
across our state. Undergrounding is just one of the systemhardening tools PG&E uses to reduce wildfire risks. Each day we are adding more layers of protection to meet California’s changing climate and improve the safety of our system for our customers. In addition to undergrounding 10,000 miles, we continue to strengthen powerlines, inspect, and clear vegetation, enable powerline safety settings and monitor, forecast, and respond to wildfire risk. These and additional risk-reduction efforts are outlined in the company’s 20232025 Wildfire Mitigation Plan .
Summer fast approaches, and after a long rainy season (for which we are all grateful) the Butte County Local Food Network (BCLFN) is happy to announce that Garden Blitz 2023 installed 120 gardens around the county this April, 47 of them in Paradise and Magalia. Thanks to Feather River Health Foundation providing the scholarship fund, we were able to offer 75 boxes county-wide to folks in need. Thanks to the Ridgeview Rangers and Jeff Wrobel for making boxes, Valley Contractors Exchange for their amazing support, Paradise Community Guild for the staging site, and to all the volunteers who came together to put in gardens and create a community that grows food together.
We are also excited to announce that via our 1,000 Acres More (1000AM) project, we have a new semi-public demonstration/community garden

Since 1921, Noble Orchards has produced apples at their Pentz Road location in Paradise. Today in addition to the many varieties of apples, you will find peaches, nectarines and nursery plants. Seasonal offerings include pollinators and herbs, maple, conifer trees and shrubs and Pink Lady apple trees. Our collection of succulents will add interest to a beautiful rock garden-and are almost free of care once planted. Plants are growing rapidly with warmer spring weather. As orchard fruits ripen, usually in June, we will be open at the farm daily.
The historic stone building built by Grandpa Perry Nobel in the late 1940’s is a beautiful space that will house our sales area until other structures are rebuilt. The building withstood THAT DAY in 2018 because of its original stone walls. The new roof system is completely supported by steel columns cemented into the floor.

Paradise enjoys a spectacular Parade of Flags along Skyway on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Veterans Day thanks to Bill Wells, a local WWII Veteran who came up with the idea in 1998. With former Mayor Ray Dalton’s support, the Town of Paradise embraced the project.
In advance of the first parade, Ray Dalton and veteran volunteers used a compressor borrowed from Paradise Irrigation District to drill hundreds of holes along the Skyway. The necessary funds were raised through a “sponsor a flag” program. Soon, the program welcomed the donation of commemorative flags. Flags from funerals, flags that flew over the capital, and others were presented.
After the Camp Fire of 2018, this treasured tradition has been carried on through the generosity of organizations and individuals that donated replacement flags for those that were lost when the storage facility, the Paradise Elks’ Lodge, was destroyed. The Daughters of the American Revolution lead the charge, and flags were also donated by members of the Pair-O-Dice Chapter of E.Clampus Vitus and the Rotary Club of Paradise.
On each of the three holidays, teams of volunteers retrieve the flags from storage, clean the flag placement holes, raise the flags, then dismantle the display before sundown. With due
reverence in a community that honors veterans and apple pie, the flags are always handled according to strict etiquette. People come from miles around to view the dazzling Paradise Parade of flags. Since July 4, 2000, a Parade of Flags has been in place along the Skyway in Magalia as well, due to the efforts of the Magalia Beautification Association.

Joanne and Fred Cosgrove in November 1961, in their shared office at Rose Chapel.
Rose Chapel was established by the Rose family in 1951. Paradise was a growing community and the business flourished. After several years the Rose family relocated and sold the business to Fred and Joanne Cosgrove. They became an important and involved part of the Ridge business community. Their girls, Pam and Kim, were raised in the family business. While the elder Cosgroves retired, the Cosgrove family continues the daily operations with long-time manager, Eric Smith.

Rendering of the future home for PASH. Donations appreciated and being accepted now.
Paradise Animal Shelter Helpers, PASH, was founded in 1986 and became a tax exempt organization in 1989. Everything our volunteers do is for the animals while they are staying at the shelter. PASH funds all spay and neuter surgeries upon adoption, veterinary costs, and medications.
A Grand Jury Report in 2015-2016 showed Paradise Animal Shelter was deficient in separating cats and dogs, isolation of sick animals, a treatment room, and expansion of public access and adoption opportunities.
Our goal is to expand and improve the Paradise Animal Shelter Facility and Campus to increase services and showcase the commitment of the Town of Paradise to the welfare and safety of our community’s pets and wildlife.
The new shelter will house cats and dogs separately, create
adoption meet and greet rooms, provide an isolation ward for sick animals, a bathing area, exam and treatment room, improve the overall comfort level for animals and staff, and enhance the appearance and safety of the shelter so it is more welcoming to the public.
The expansion and improvement of our animal shelter will complement the regeneration of our community.

Visit the growing outdoor Military Museum
A 105MM Howitzer is a recent addition to the outdoor exhibit. It joins the inspiring metal sculpture depicting the 1945 flag raising at Mt. Suribachi, Iwo Jima, Japan and a donated Korean War era jeep. The “Salute to Ridge Veterans,” a 3,489-pound granite memorial was dedicated on November 11, 2021. The outdoor exhibit area is surrounded by an inspirational display of seven service flags, each representing a branch of the military service including the new Space Force flag. This open-air memorial is a fitting tribute to our brave Ridge veterans.
Look for more events at the newly remodeled meeting room
A complete the remodel of our Veterans meeting room makes it more comfortable and welcoming for all. Future plans include weekly coffee and doughnut gatherings, games in the mezzanine, and available TV for veterans who want to hang out with their friends.

the first Tuesday of the month, 6:007:00 p.m.

In 2023, Habitat for Humanity celebrates 30 years of building homes with affordable mortgages assisted by 25,300 volunteer hours and 15,700 family sweat equity hours!
To date, we have built and sold 48 energy efficient houses, with 13 of those built since the Camp Fire. We have served 71 adults who raised 99 children, 10 of those families are fire survivors. We have provided 2,772 hours of financial and homeownership classes to families. We have invested $10 million in grants, contributions and in-kind into the community. We have diverted from the landfill over 6,500,000 pounds of new and used household donations through our ReStore.
Our soon to be Habitat homeowner, Kelsi Dancer with her son, Josh, and daughter, Bella tells us, “My kids and I are now living in our fourth location since the Camp Fire. Currently, my rent is just over 50% of my net income. The affordability of buying a house would be impossible for me in today’s market with the high-interest rates. The mortgage payment of 30% of my gross income will allow us not just to survive but thrive. I’ll be able to save more and experience more as a family. The hands-on experience is confidence building and empowering. I’ve learned how to paint in a house, how-to put-up siding, and dig a gate post hole….which I bragged about to all my family members!"
As we continue to build, we know each Habitat home built in Paradise means a family will send their kids to school, pay taxes, do their shopping, and go to churches and parks, all in Paradise. In that manner, we are not only providing a handup to families, but we are also helping to rebuild the Ridge community.
Habitat for Humanity is grateful to be part of the great team behind the Rebuild in Paradise Project. This past year, Magalia resident and CA Vocational Program Coordinator, Melissa Crick, NorthStar Architecture Department Manager, Sean Shearer, and Tri Counties Mortgage Lending Manager, Rick Gonzales joined the Habitat for Humanity Board. The Paradise Rotary Foundation, ACE Hardware, Foothill Lumber, Golden Valley Bank, Trilogy and the North Valley Community Foundation Butte Strong Fund continue to be major supporters, and the committed partnership of the Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce can’t be beat.
It has been a wild ride, as everyone who is rebuilding the Ridge knows, and we are grateful to be part of this effort. If you’d like more information on how to get involved, please call our office (530) 343-7423 or check out our webpage www.buttehabitat. org. Together we can make a difference!

Paradise Adventist Church, 5720 Academy Drive
A groundbreaking ceremony for the new 37,800 sq ft Seventh Day Adventist Church was held on May 21, 2023. With sitework and permitting underway, completion is expected in 18 to 24 months, depending on weather.
Feather River Health Center expansion on Skyway
A $2.4M renovation and expansion has begun at the Paradise clinic located on Skyway. The renovations include creating a dedicated space for Rapid Care that will more easily serve the community, expanding primary care exam rooms, and reestablishing women’s imaging services (mammography and dexa scans) back on the Ridge.
Senior Center to return as Paradise Community Center,
877 Nunneley Road
With public input, a goal is in development to rebuild and revamp Paradise’s Senior Center. The new facility will provide space for residents on the Ridge to come together for events, meetings, and activities! Visit paradisecommunitycenter. com for more information on the rebuilding.
Paradise Moose Family Center
Paradise Moose Lodge has broken ground on its new Family Center at 5275 Skyway in Paradise. The Paradise Moose have long provided the Ridge with social, educational and community service.
With a target open date of late 2023, the 18,000 sq ft Ross retail store will be located next to Tractor Supply, in the old Kmart building. The. Ross will bring high-quality department and specialty store brands at extraordinary savings.
Jack in the Box and Wendy’s
The Chamber is advised that both fast food restaurants are in the process of securing property. We anticipate sharing more information as plans develop.
Lakeridge Circle apartments planned for Magalia
CHIP is in early planning for a 63-unit affordable housing community to serve families, as well as seniors and persons with disabilities. There will be eight two-story buildings, 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units.
friend of mine bought a mobile many years ago and in a drawer, he found an original advertising piece from the time the Paradise Pines development was being promoted. Ridge recreational opportunities were a key component in that ad. Although much has changed since the late 1970’s, I believe our recreation has been a constant. With plenty of open space, one is assured to find a spot to enjoy nature or outdoor activities. Definitely, recreation on the Ridge is what brought me back home!
For the “find it yourself” kind of fun, you can hike, bicycle or crosscountry ski for what may seem like forever on the patchwork of Sierra Pacific Industries and Federal land, go swimming in the West Branch Feather River’s many pools or when desiring a little more of an extended get away, camp in Butte Meadows or at Philbrook Lake.
For those seeking more civilized recreation, a good bet is kayaking on Paradise Irrigation District’s amazing Paradise Lake, seeking
Areflection amongst the beautiful meadows, pools and bronze sculptures at Merlo Park in Stirling City or our newest recreation opportunity at the South Pines Disc Golf course, a project of the Magalia Community Park. Lastly, the many opportunities of Lake Oroville’s Lime Saddle area: camping, trails, fishing, waterskiing, and boating.
The adrenaline junkie has much to choose from. Mountain biking those short but challenging trails at Bureau of Land Management’s Forks of Butte Creek, e-bike or motorcycle some great curvy paved and gravel roads, and in winter ride snowmobiles at the Jonesville Snow Mobile Park near Butte Meadows or in summer raft Butte Creek, bridge to bridge, in some sort of inflatable. If bicycling gravel is your thing, check out “ridewithgps.com/ routes/31982326” for the Doon grade railroad - Inskip pioneer grave loop. By car, take yourself or your family on a treasure hunt with a search of the local area at “geocaching.com.”
Don’t miss a ride or drive to Butte Meadows to check out the Colby Mountain Trail Network and Restoration Project area and origins of Butte Creek. The Board of Supervisors recently approved funding to go towards the design of a mountain bike skill trail in Paradise. Definitely something I’m looking forward to riding with my daughters!
Paradise Recreation and Park District (PRPD), as the recreational leader of the community, is committed to providing a diverse selection of park facilities and recreation activities for residents and visitors. PRPD spans approximately 170 square miles and encompasses Paradise, Magalia, Butte Creek Canyon, and the Concow/ Yankee Hill area.
The Terry Ashe Recreation Center at 6626 Skyway houses PRPD’s business office. Other key facilities include Aquatic Park, Paradise Lake, Bille Park, Moore Road Park, Coutolenc Park, and Crain Park in Concow. Facilities for picnics, parties, weddings and other occasions are available for rental. In 2021 PRPD was awarded Proposition 68 grant funding to develop a new 27-acre park at Lakeridge Circle in Magalia (anticipated to be complete by Spring 2025), and two new rustic wildland parks at Pentz and Merrill Roads, and off of Pearson Road in Paradise.
Visit PRPD’s website for information about recreation programs, classes and special events or stop by the Office for seasonal activity guides and class, event, and program flyers.
6626 Skyway, Paradise

Facilities include preschool, playground, gazebo, arbor, BBQ, basketball court, meeting rooms and kitchen.
A year round creek flows through the Aquatic Park located at Buschmann Road and Recreation Drive. It’s a great place for discovery and splashing around. If you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the resident otter in the nearby pond.
The Paradise Recreation and Park District offers multiple venues to host weddings and other special occasions.

Ample parking, children’s playground and a large grass area. Bille Park Expansion boasts a gazebo, pavilion and a kitchen available for rental. Walkways connect the parks. Canyon views are accessible via a picturesque nature trail.
Before entering Stirling City, turn right onto Retson Rd, follow signs. Merlo Park is Stirling City’s historic and hidden jewel. The 20 acre park honors the pioneers of a time gone by. Visitors enjoy the wonderful bronze statues that grace the park. At 3,500 feet it’s a great spot, in the heat of the summer, to enjoy walks and the three ponds that host local wildlife. There are also picnic areas for small and large groups and a venue for weddings.
Park is open May through October, Thursday through Sunday from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. Fishing, pets, smoking, swimming, and wheeled recreation (bikes, skateboards, etc.) are prohibited. The park was dedicated in 1987 by the Harry A. Merlo Foundation and is privately owned and operated.
The park sits on 340 acres on Coutolenc Road above Magalia. It is currently closed for major fuels reduction, to be completed this summer and followed by the addition and repair of recreational amenities for a hopeful reopening in early 2024.

Home to the landmark Depot Museum, the park offers a picturesque and historic backdrop for picnics, events, and Paradise’s best-loved summer fest, Party in the Park. Available for rent; contact the Town of Paradise: (530) 872-6291.
The 204-acre lake provides a variety of outdoor activities, including paddling, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, and more. There are shaded individual and group picnic sites, benches, and playground. Two boat launches provide paddling access and small boat (electric trolling motors only) access. The lake supplies drinking water for the area and currently swimming, dogs and horses are prohibited. Closed on Wednesdays for maintenance. Day passes available at the lake or seasonal parking passes at the park office or online.
Using the trails identified in the book The Flumes and Trails of Paradise by Roger and Helen Ekins as a guide, here are a few trails that continue to provide a great outdoor experience on the Ridge.
Located on Bille Road, one mile west of Skyway, but best accessed via the West Wagstaff entrance, Bille Park is definitely one of the jewels of Paradise. The main hiking trail is west of the gazebo, on the north end of the park--just look for the sign for Indian Rock (613’), the Grotto (1,231’) and Lookout Point (1,463’) which ends at a cement bench–a perfect viewing spot for glorious sunsets.
(up to 5 or 6 miles round trip)
For dramatic vistas of Butte Creek (and the chance to try some legal gold panning if you are feeling lucky) drive up the Skyway some 9 miles from Wagstaff, then turn left on Powellton Road and continue on the middle road, which is now Doe Mill. At the bottom, cross over the bridge, begin heading up the other side and look for the white trail marker on your left, parking anywhere you have room. Then follow the trail downstream for as far as you feel like going. This is especially lovely in the spring.
(3 miles, round trip)
The De Sabla Reservoir trailhead begins off Skyway facing the lake, 8.2 miles notth of Wagstaff Road. The trail goes along the left side of the lake on a wide gravel and dirt dam, facing away from the road. At the edge of the lake, it turns left and ascends gradually through the woods on a clear trail/spillway. Look for a path to the right up a short hill, and then a clear path which eventually leads back down to the right and over a small bridge, at which point you will turn right and walk along the flumes back to your transportation.
Located near the intersection of Skyway and Coutolenc Road, this hike offers a glimpse at the recovery process after a fire. Known for the McNab Cypress, this area was severely burned but many plants are already returning. This area provides a great opportunity to see how nature responds after a wildfire. The hike down the road to the Miocene Head Dam is one mile with an elevation difference of nearly 1000’ so be prepared for a strenuous hike. Bring plenty of water in warm weather.
Although no pets or swimming is allowed (this is the Town’s drinking water), Paradise Lake is one of the most beautiful places to either hike or ride mountain bikes. There is a fee for using the parking areas (located from Coutolenc Rd. off of either Lucretia or Northlake Rd.), but you can also purchase an annual pass from the PRPD once you decide to become a regular visitor.
Recently renamed in honor of past resident, Yellowstone Kelly, a famed Western figure, this old railroad bed, which runs through the middle of town, is paved and therefore ideal for all kinds of bicycles, tricycles and the like. In fact, locals usually call it “the bike path.” It can be accessed at any one of several cross-streets, but the best place to park is at Paradise Community Park on Black Olive near Pearson Road.
The Yellowstone Kelly Trail (YKT), previously known as the Paradise Memorial Trail, is about to get an exciting makeover with the addition of recreational elements designed for a variety of uses such as mountain biking, skating, and hiking. American Ramp Company (ARC) is partnering with the Town of Paradise and Paradise Recreation and Park District to gather community input on the design of these new features.
An initial step in the design process is an inventory of the existing conditions along the YKT corridor and an assessment of the opportunities and constraints along the trail. This includes considering the proximity to public parking, schools, and existing parks. The design will map out desired features for the YKT corridor bike park trail, identifying potential locations for entry, spectator viewing, and drainage flow, and recreational amenities like drinking fountains, trash receptacles, and bike fix-it stations.
The design will create a progression of difficulty levels for riders from beginner to advanced, accommodating younger children. There will be features like skinnies to challenge more advanced riders. The design will also include a diversity of zones such as skill building for momentum, balance, and bike handling, as well as jump line tabletop features.
Overall, the design for the Yellowstone Kelly Trail will enhance the community’s outdoor recreational offerings while taking into consideration environmental concerns and the needs of all riders. With the input of the community and the expertise of ARC, the final design promises to be an exciting addition to Paradise.

South Pines Disc Golf is a project of Magalia Community Park, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization on the 40-acre property formerly known as the Paradise Pines Golf Course. It is part of a Camp Fire recovery project in lower Magalia to preserve the land for recreational use and bringing the community together. Magalia Community Center is at the heart of this project and is located near the 18th hole.
The sport of Disc Golf was formalized in the 1970s, and like golf, the object is to complete each hole in the fewest strokes (or, in the case of disc golf, fewest throws). Players use a flying disc like a Frisbee®, and the game is played on a fun and challenging par 54 course with 70 basket positions (changing frequently). The course and the pedestrian trail, (a 1.8-mile paved walking/hiking/biking trail) are open daily dawn to dusk. Regular weeklies are held with an accumulating ace pot.
South Pines has drawn local and nationwide attention, with players coming from across the state and around the country to visit and play. Since opening in October of 2020, the course has hosted several regional and national tournaments. Green fee $5 pp; check in at pro-shop. Restrooms at Center and 9th hole. Izzy’s Bar and Grill is next door. For more info follow the South Pines Disc Golf Facebook
Disc golf is a great activity for families; all ages and skill levels can play.

For nearly five years, the Burnt Barn Distilling Co. family has worked diligently to bring this business to Paradise. As of this writing, their goal is finally in sight, with an expected soft opening in the summer of 2023 and full production by the end of the year.
The primary intent of Burnt Barn Distilling Co. is to produce the finest distilled spirits. To that end, the Burnt Barn family is excited to share that their first products, under the brand name “Embers to Eden” will include gin and vodka, followed by rum, whiskey, and, perhaps, a limited run of moonshine or absinthe.
Concurrently, Burnt Barn will be working on their flagship product— bourbon--which, of course, will not be released until it has been aged to perfection.
Though distilling is the reason that Burnt Barn Distilling Co. exists, guests will be delighted by the beautiful grounds on the site of the distillery. Located on Wayland Road in lower Paradise, a beautiful metal building, with a unique copper roof, houses two stills, named “Harry” and “Dex.” Both stills were hand-made in Louisville, Kentucky by world renown coppersmith, “Vendome Copper and Brass Works.”
Harry is a ‘hybrid still’ used in the production of all the products. Dex, towering 28’ feet tall and visible through the glass window facing Wayland, is used primarily in the production of vodka and gin.
Head Distiller of the soon to open Burnt Barn Distilling Co. Taylor Schuster and Danae Schuster with “Harry” the Vendome Hybrid Still. Located on gorgeous grounds in lower Paradise it’s a perfect place to relax and learn about the art of craft distillation.
Also located on the grounds are the fascinating ‘ruins’ of the home destroyed during the Camp Fire. The ruins will be utilized in the future for, perhaps, a larger tasting room, or barrel storage. On the lower side of the ruins sits a covered patio overlooking a natural pond and year-round creek, shaded by willows and oaks.
Burnt Barn Distilling Co. is a destination gem in Paradise! Join us for guided tastings and distillery tours and visit our gift shop for local swag. Be sure to watch our website and social media for special events, live music, pairing dinners and more! Call ahead or visit our website at burntbarndistilling.com.
In 1964 the U.S Congress recognized bourbon as “a distinctive product of the United States.” In order to qualify for this distinction, bourbon must:
1. Be produced in the United States
2. Be made of 51% corn
3. Be aged a minimum of 2 years
4. Be aged in charred, new, oak barrels
According to owners Jamie and Jason Piper, “we’ve been werkin’!” After two years, Paradise Brew Werks is posed to embark on to its exciting building phase!
Jason explains: “If you noticed, our location changed. Working with Ronn Van Dusen (Small Business Development Center) we were shown a stronger way.” With the assistance of long-time Paradise realtor Tom Gagne, the Pipers invested at 7337 Skyway, with the location better fitting the Paradise Brew Werks concept.
Jamie and Jason share the Brew Werks vision and business plan: We shall be a 15-barrel brewery, producing a conservative 1,000 barrels in year one. Our product mixture will be 45% high margin onsite draft sales and 55% self-distributed retail can/keg product. Our seating goal is 49 inside and 50 outside on a 2,000sq ft beergarden. Our beers are heavily rotated in traditional, huge hop rate IPAs, and exciting culinary inspired sours and stouts (+ more!). Jamie explains: “You can find your straight up Paradise made American Lager, or you can get in to a 20-hour boil, decadent coconut, almond and chocolate BBA
beer.” Paradise Brew Werks will offer select rotating gourmet food trucks. Second only to the beer will be hospitality and atmosphere. Striving to maximize family daytime leisure, well-behaved children and dogs will be welcomed.
The boxes are checked! Rancho Engineering is working on septic expansion and a separate environmentally sustainable brewery wastewater component. This system won’t be lost expenditure with the incoming Paradise Sewer connection; it will remain as onsite pre-treatment, nearly eliminating all BOD/effluent.
Capital expenditure reflects a mixture of personal investment, 3CORE, Inc. loan funding, and grassroots founders. Jamie and Jason are both encouraged by and incredibly grateful for numerous town investors. Investor inquiries welcomed at paradisebrewwerks.com.

Art gallery features Shane Grammer mural
Iris Natividad’s “Nothing but Love Paradise” art gallery, antique shop, and gourmet pantry supports the healing powers of community art. Shane Grammer, the renowned artist who created inspiration among the ruins of Paradise after the Camp Fire with his murals on chimney stacks, burned-out cars and standing walls painted a mural on the outside of the shop. You will also find Grammer’s art to purchase at Nothing But Love.
The Skyway Antique Mall features the stunning mural dedicated “To Paradise, with Love.” Illustrator Steve Ferchaud and many local artists created the timely pageant of Paradise’s past and present. A focal point of the mural is the clock set to 11:08, representing the day of the Camp Fire: November 8, 2018. Outstretched phoenix wings create a perfect selfie spot. 85 daffodils honor those lost in the Camp Fire.
A project of the Paradise Veterans Group, the mural depicts the 1814 Fort McHenry battle that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the poem that later became “The Star Spangled Banner.” The concept was inspired by local veterans who first returned to Paradise after the Camp Fire to see the Vets Hall still standing amidst the destruction.
Created by muralist Jedrek Speer, Boys and Girls Club of the North Valley members selected the inspiring “Here We Grow” motto for their building. Sponsored by California Health and Wellness, the “Here We Grow” mural offers beauty, inspiration and hometown pride to all who pass the location at 6241 Skyway in Paradise.
Coming soon: A new mural is soon to grace the south wall of Paradise Art Center on Almond Street. Created by local artist Steve Ferchaud, it will be a tribute to the various the art forms the center supports. And look for the recently completed “Wildfire Ready Raccoon & Friends” mural on the wall of Woodworth Jewelry, 6265 Skyway, painted by local artist Jess Mercer!
Northern California Ballet (NCB) brings high quality, full length Classical Ballet to the Ridge, teaching ages four through adult, pre-professional to professional level. Trudi Angel opened NCB’s doors in 1978 as “The Dance Company,” changing the name in 1982 after becoming a California nonprofit. Every year NCB performs two full scale ballets, such as Nutcracker, Giselle, Sleeping Beauty, Don Quixote and others. Auditions are conducted locally, and professional guest dancers from The Eugene Ballet, Sacramento Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, Perm Ballet in Russia and Stuttgart Ballet also perform.
NCB strives to develop a love of dance, accurate technique, and the foundation skills necessary to pursue a career for those students who wish to dance professionally. Many NCB students have joined professional
companies such as Eugene Ballet, City Ballet in San Francisco, San Francisco Ballet, Ballet West in Salt Lake City, and Texas Ballet to name a few.
Every summer NCB offers a ten-day program for 50 students from all over the US. Young dancers enjoy a safe and nurturing environment where the students feel comfortable and polish not only skills in the art of dance but also life lessons.
The studio at 5794 Clark Road offers a range of classes. This year NCB will perform Midsummer Night’s Dream June 2 and 3, at Paradise Performing Art Center and The Nutcracker December 15, 16, and 17. See Events Calendar pg. 116 for more information. This past season NCB was also invited to perform Peter and the Wolf in March, with the Paradie Symphony Orchestra and excerpts from Midsummer Night’s Dream with the Paradise Chorus.

By Jan Wade Board Member Paradise Symphony Orchestra
In 1958 the Paradise Symphony (PSO) was organized with only eight members. They had responded to a newspaper advertisement by Harvey Roth, Paradise Recreation District Director, for volunteer musicians. In those early years, the Symphony played in a school gym, prompting its patrons to bring cushions to sit on. At its largest, it numbered 55-60 musicians and has seen eight conductors over the years. After the Camp Fire, its numbers were reduced to 40 but it has continued to regrow and presently boasts 50 members.
As the orchestra has grown, it has become a vital piece of the Ridge art community. Dr. Lloyd Roby, conductor, musician, and composer brings varied experience ranging from rock band back-up, big bands, symphonies, and educator. He has been
with the Paradise Symphony for 18 years, and after retiring from Chico State, has settled in Paradise. “The Symphony Orchestra can be the heart and soul of their community,” says Roby. Immediate goals include building the orchestra back to pre-fire numbers and “continue to be a mainstay of the Ridge and Paradise as it rebuilds.” Of particular interest to Roby is introducing young people to orchestral music and involving them when possible. When asked how a quality orchestra could come from a small town like Paradise, Roby replied,” It’s simple—it’s because of the people—dedicated, hard-working and fun-loving with a ‘can do’ attitude, and the enthusiasm of the people and organizations of the Ridge and other supporting communities.”
For more information, website paradisesymphony.org. Follow us on Facebook.
The 2023-24 Symphony Season will kick off July 4th with a rousing collaboration of various Ridge organizations, followed by the August Fundraiser Auction.
For the October concert the very popular California Regional Theatre will again join the Orchestra. There will be three more concerts including the traditional Christmas collaboration that kicks off the holiday season. All concerts (except the Fourth of July) are held at the Paradise Performing Arts Center, located at 777 Nunneley Road in Paradise on Sunday afternoons.

The Paradise Performing Art Center (PPAC) was born on January 31, 1978 when a more than 100 residents gathered to explore the possibility of building a community auditorium. On January 31, 1979, the Articles of Incorporation for the Paradise Auditorium and Community Center was signed. Non-profit status was granted on October 15, 1980 and remains in effect. Later renamed the Paradise Performing Art Center, the PPAC has been called the “Jewel of the Foothills” and described as the finest performing arts facility in Northern California.
The Paradise Performing Art Center (PPAC) continues to provide the community with a stateof-the-art 760 seat facility for the staging of events. It provides a cultural center for the Ridge to experience entertainment, education, enrichment, and enlightenment. Concerts, ballet, theater, multimedia presentations, symphony performances, seminars, educational programs, debates, religious gatherings, art shows, school performances and education in the performing arts are
The PPAC attracts and provides high quality events to expand cultural and social horizons and enhance the quality of life on the Ridge and surrounding communities. Look forward to more theatrical experiences as well as community involvement in the performing arts.
A current Board objective is to encourage and assist local businesses and government to work together in a partnership to promote economic development in the area. Another objective is to increase general public awareness of the value of cultural and educational programs available, especially use of the PPAC by the schools in our area.
The PPAC collaborates with other community organizations such as: local schools, local theatre groups, Paradise Symphony Orchestra, Northern California Ballet, the Gold Nugget Museum, Norton Buffalo Hall, Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce, Butte Community College, and Chico State in the interest of achieving mutually beneficial goals.

By Judy Clemens Executive Director, Theatre on the Ridge
TTheatre on the Ridge (TOTR) was founded in 1975 as an offshoot of a children’s program administered by the Paradise Recreation and Park District. Originally, we produced one or two productions a year in the local gymnasium. In 1979, the theatre moved to its own location. Renovations of an old commercial building were accomplished with all volunteer labor and donations of material and services from the local business community. The first season of regularly scheduled performances commenced in 1980. Since that time, seasons have evolved to produce seven shows annually with a robust and thriving youth theatre program, educating and nurturing future generations of performers to grace the stage of the 101-seat facility.
Miraculously surviving
the Camp Fire of 2018 and then the 16-month COVID pandemic shutdown of the beloved Playhouse ending in July 2021, TOTR continues to thrive and recover, celebrating its 48th season in 2023 with a diverse season of plays with a little something for everyone, including White Rabbit, Red Rabbit (June 1-18), She Kills Monsters (July 20-30), P-Town Tonight! (Sept 14-Oct 1), and Doublewide, Texas Christmas (Nov 30-Dec 17). Complete details on the shows can be found on the website www.totr.org. Flex passes are still available for $45 for three shows for the best seats in the house at the lowest ticket price available with full exchange privileges. Call the box office to subscribe. (530) 519-1768.
TOTR is proud to be one of the founding members of both the Paradise Arts Alliance and PATCH, the Paradise Arts, Theatre & Culture Hub, a partnership of arts organizations dedicated to building a multi-use complex in the envisioned walkable downtown area of Paradise focused on the arts and cultural activities.

As Paradise lays the groundwork for a walkable downtown, it is worth asking: Why would anyone visit it? Nearby towns have a lot to offer. Why would people invest their precious time and dollars here? What makes us special?
Now imagine you’ve come to a two- or three-acre cultural district in the new downtown to take in a museum exhibit. In the theatre next door, a new play is about to start. A marquis over a mid-sized venue promotes music events, and through the window of an art center you see one of several weekly workshops underway. A large banner announces an upcoming tribal event; another advertises an arts-themed local nature excursion. With restaurants and retail situated nearby, you go for a meal, stop to browse in a shop, or go hang out at a café. That’s the vision of Paradise Arts, Theatre and Culture Hub (PATCH), a collaboration of Gold Nugget Museum, Norton Buffalo Hall Foundation, Theatre on the Ridge, and Paradise Art Center, with guidance from Mechoopda Tribal Council and Paradise Recreation and Park District. After a year of due diligence, PATCH has now launched as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) in order to raise funds to purchase land and build together in downtown Paradise. The aim is to help position the Ridge as
an attractive regional destination by providing fine arts and culture experiences on a common campus.
The effort was given a boost by the Paradise Town Council, when it officially proclaimed April 2023 as Arts, Culture and Creativity Month, and named both Paradise Arts Alliance and PATCH as partners that “support the arts and creativity in Paradise as an essential part of rebuilding our community.”
PATCH aims to share its vision through memorable events. In March, PATCH put on the first annual Daffodil Dance, Duets and Fine Art Auction at Veteran’s Memorial Hall, a wellattended affair celebrating the official Town flower. PATCH hopes to make it a Town tradition. Under a new “PATCHworks” logo, PATCH has presented acclaimed music talents at Theatre on the Ridge and MONCA (in Chico), such as Simon Lynge (Greenland), Don Ross (Canada), KoMaGa Trio, and Alice DiMicele. Look for more presentations in the coming year.
While events will help raise regional awareness for PATCH’s aims, major funds are needed, and soon. PATCH has identified several two and three-acre campus candidates within the downtown area, but land is selling quickly. Ideally, PATCH will secure the right spot this year.
To find out how you can support PATCH, visit our website: paradisepatch.org.
Do you love goats? Are you interested in mitigating wildfires? If so, you won’t want to miss this family-friendly, annual event, held in Paradise. The Butte County Fire Safe Council (BCFSC), a nonprofit community organization, brings this event to the Ridge to educate the community on the vital role that grazing can play in mitigating wildfires. Last year, an estimated 3,000 attendees enjoyed mingling with goats and learning about wildfire safety from informational booths, talks, and three local grazers, Paradise Scapegoats, 3 Rock Ranch, and Hanski Family Farms.
In addition to being a fun day out for the whole family, the Paradise Grazing Festival serves an essential purpose raising funds and support for Butte County grazing projects. By learning about how goats can help protect our communities from wildfires, you’ll appreciate the critical role these animals play in keeping us safe.

The four-day Gold Nugget Days festival celebrates the gold mining history of the Paradise Ridge. The celebration is staged by Gold Nugget Days, Inc., a nonprofit organization founded in 1973 to preserve local historical artifacts. The namesake 54-pound gold nugget found at the Willard Claim in Whisky Flats across the canyon from Old Magalia is not among the artifacts; it was melted down and monetized shortly after discovery.
Gold Nugget Days has been a Ridge tradition since 1959, the centennial of the discovery. In past years, the Ridge residents donned western apparel, and town businesses vied for prizes awarded for gold mining merchant decor. The festival is held every year, (barring emergencies like the pandemic and fire, of course), on the last full weekend of April.
Visitors and locals catch a galloping case of gold fever . . . kicking off with the crowning of the Gold Nugget Queen, a local high school junior or senior. In years past, Friday night served up a Melodrama written and performed by locals, always a favorite. 2023 will feature the return of the Melodrama with its time-tested antics and crowd-pleasing frivolity, boasting the best and not-so-best of our community through laughter and unifying themes.
Bright and early Saturday morning, the Donkey Derby commences at Whisky Flats, at the bottom of the West Branch of the Feather River. The donkeys and their drivers haul a 54-pound nugget replica clear up to Old Magalia and then coerce the donkeys through a challenging course replete with comical hazards. At noon sharp, the Gold Nugget Parade commences to the delight of crowds lining the streets,
