Feb 2, 2026 - Lake Almanor Area Chamber of Commerce: Mix and Learn
Social Media 101 - Instagram
Presented by Elizabeth Horan - Cold Creek Flowers
Hosted by The Rusty Chandelier
4pm, Class 4:15-5:15, Q&A until 5:45pm if needed. Out the door by 6pm.
Learn something AND network at the next Lake Almanor Area Chamber of Commerce mixer.
Elizabeth from Cold Creek Flowers will cover Social Media 101 - Instagram. She will cover posts, reels, and stories. If you don’t know what those are, no problem, you can come and learn! She will also talk about batching content so you have things ready to go and don’t feel like you need to create new content for Social Media all the time. Work smarter, not harder, kind of stuff.
To maximize the one hour class Elizabeth asks that you have an Instagram BUSINESS account already created for your business and that you have the Instagram app and Edits app installed on your phone.

Valentine’s Day is almost here, and we’re setting the table for a night meant to be enjoyed without rushing.
Our Valentine’s specials are built around shared plates, comforting flavors, and lingering conversations. Start with fire-kissed prawns in a red chili and garlic butter sauce served with a warm French baguette, or fresh marinated mozzarella with Roma tomato, basil, balsamic reduction, and olive oil.
For dinner, choose between a 12-oz peppercorn-crusted New York steak, fire-kissed and finished with roasted garlic cream sauce, served with a baked potato and green beans, or two sautéed chicken breasts over linguine with a sundried tomato and artichoke cream sauce, paired with sautéed green beans.
Finish the night on a sweet note with warm beignets served with homemade caramel and cinnamon roll sauces, or a molten lava cake with vanilla bean ice cream.
Valentine’s Day reservations are filling quickly. If you’re planning to celebrate with us, we recommend booking soon before we’re full.
