Rumble in the Redwoods

It's summertime and the sun is shining on classic cars and tricked out trucks revving for the Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo (free). Check out the Chevelle-load of Corvettes and Camaros at the judged show on Main Street (entrants are parked by class and further sorted by year), and openly ogle at the Show & Shine/Vintage & Exotic show at Fortuna High School.

Sewing the Seeds of Love

by Kali Cozyris on July 17, 2015 at 8:00AM

There are only a few things that embody the heart, comfort and beauty of a home more than a quilt. Those soft, fabric sandwiches of love stitched together with patience and pride, and employed to wrap babies, cover beds or hang on walls.

If opera al fresco on a temperate north coast night sounds like a slice of heaven to you, plan to be at Redwood Park this weekend for the next production of SkyClad Theater's Plays in the Park, where all of nature's the stage and the walls are merely transcendental. The 2015 season started July 11 with the 24-Hour 10-Minute Play Festival, and continues this weekend with Il Matrimonio Segreto, an evening of opera featuring selections from La Boheme, the Marriage of Figaro and La Traviata.

I don't even know who books the Little Red Lion, but whoever this mysterious genius is, he or she is bucking the scientifically based indie fan personality trend. In this case, the Southern-psych flavored Ancient River, whose music I just found myself so lost in that I had to double check and make sure I hadn't accidentally gotten high.

They Call the Thing Rodeo

If you love roping, riding, carnivals and quaddin', then mosey down to Fortuna July 13-19 for the Fortuna Rodeo. They've been busting broncs and manhandling mutton since 1921 — that's 94 years of rough and tumble in the redwoods, partner.

Folk My Life

Groom your beard, bust out the patchwork and take a big swig from that jug. The Humboldt Folklife Society is taking you from dustbowl dirges to thigh-slapping jigs all week.
