UPDATE-- Stars in the Barn! An international cast of riders and acrobats, coming to nearby Graeagle. Aug 20, 21. 
‘Stars in The Barn’ is an exciting event for young and old. A visual adventure of stunning, and unique performances that you'll never soon forget.

The 1984 North American trampoline champion collaborated on many impressive Canadian and international productions such as Cirque du Soleil, Paramount and Superbowl XXXI.

His presence and leadership on tour is a constant source of inspiration to the artists.

Nakoma Golf Resort to reopen with new owners 
The Nakoma Golf Resort at Gold Mountain has emerged from nearly five years in bankruptcy. Judge Zive of the Federal Bankruptcy court ruled in favor of accepting an offer from the Schomac Group, Inc., purchasing all of the resort assets. A sigh of relief could be heard in the courtroom, as the transfer of ownership could be finalized quickly with no further conditions to the sale. The actual close of escrow was on April 23, 2010. Nakoma Golf resort is in Plumas County, on A-15, four miles southwest of Portola, and six miles East of Graeagle.

Schomac plans on beginning work immediately to make improvements to the Nakoma golf course, clubhouse and Spa Villas. They attribute the survival of the golf course to the maintenance and care that the creditors and homeowners of Gold Mountain have shown during the bankruptcy and look forward to supporting them as the new owners of the property.

The focal point of the Robin Nelson designed 18-hole championship golf course is the 23,000 square foot clubhouse named "Nakoma" , a Chippewa Indian word meaning, "I do as I promise" . In 1924, Frank Lloyd Wright had originally designed the clubhouse for the Nakoma Golf Club located in one of the first planned suburbs of the United States, near Madison Wisconsin.

The challenging golf course at Gold Mountain was aptly named the "Dragon" , but during the bankruptcy some changes were made to the course and the fierce sounding "Dragon" name was changed to Nakoma Golf Resort.

David Beveridge, Vice President of the Schomac Group, said, "My charge will be to bring Gold Mountain and the Nakoma Golf Resort back to where it can once again shine as a beacon in Plumas County." Roy Tremoureux, the new General Manager, echoed his comments saying,"It will be a great day in the sun when homeowners, tourists and the residents of the area can enjoy a new and milder course."

Mr. Beveridge and Mr. Tremoureux expect that re-opening may be as early as this year, perhaps June 1, 2010 for the golf course. They will be offering some special rates to bring the golfers back. The clubhouse will be offering a snack bar in the beginning, but eventually Nakoma will have a more complete menu. The bar will re-open with the golf course, and lodging will be available soon at the "Spa Villas."

The Schomac Group is not new to the Plumas County area. They own and have been redeveloping the historic Feather River Inn, located in Graeagle, less than 10 miles from Nakoma Golf Resort. Restoration of the Feather River Inn has been interrupted due to legal challenges by the High Sierra Rural Alliance. In June of last year, the HSRA filed suit against Plumas County for the Board of Supervisor unanimous approval of the Inn Environmental Impact Report and Master Development Plan. Once resolved, the two sister resorts should work together in great harmony, providing a superb mix of lodging, convention facilities, and recreational amenities, not to mention, significant employment to the area.
