Heads up, Humboldt:
While the county's masking mandate has been lifted, Public Health is still strongly recommending masking indoors in public, social distancing and "avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces."
COVID-19 is still with us, so be sure to check the protocols at event venues.
Featured during October are new works by painter Anna Oneglia and woodworker Kurt Hellmich. Hellmich's work may be familiar to you from local fairs over the years. He creates music-themed and nature-themed hardwood cutting boards, game boards such as cribbage and checkers as well as jewelry boxes. Oneglia's new works are titled "Buddhas for our Times" and feature lively narratives in her signature vivid color palette. These paintings reflect the influence of her years of travel to India, Hawaii and France.
