Burn Beetle Burn!It's that time of year again, the time when we all come together to vent ourfrustrations against a common enemy...the Mountain Pine Beetle. Sure, the PineBeetle may be more under control now than in 2014, but that doesn't mean it isn'tstill great fun to light that effigy on fire and watch it go up in smoke. Not to mentionwatch an incredible fireworks display in the middle of January! A couple Chamberstaff members are more than a little excited to carry torches and march in the mobin addition to attending the Bug Crawl downtown afterward. There's also the ArtistReception on Friday night and the Variety Show on Saturday afternoon.There's still time to enter our contest on the Chamber Facebook page! We arejoining with Sylvan Rocks Climbing School and Guide Service to give away 5 (verycoveted) torch tickets! All you have to do to enter is post a short video with yourbest "burn beetle burn!" and you may be one of the lucky winners!For more information about the Burning Beetle celebration visit their Facebookpage: https://www.facebook.com/barkbeetleblues/ or read our latest blog post:http://www.visitcuster.com//blog/Burning-Beetle-2019
