Burney Chamber is looking for a new Honorary Mayor of Burney. Candidates campaign by collecting donations to be split between their favorite charity and the Chamber of Commerce. Money raised by the Chamber supports Burney Basin Days.
In May or June, there will be a fun debate amongst the candidates. Each candidate chooses a campaign theme and motto, a campaign manager and represents their favorite charity.
