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.
During March and April, artwork by the Humboldt Open Air Landscape Painters will be on display at the Arcata Marsh Interpretive Center.
