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 Labor Day weekend Willow Creek opens up and invites enthusiasts of hairy, 8-foot-tall hominids to celebrate alongside the locals. Bigfoot, as the forest dweller species is commonly called, has his own celebration and Willow Creek spares no expense. This two-day event includes food and craft booths, oyster feed, deep pit barbecue, logging contests, a petting zoo, kids bike race, lawn mower race, disc golf tourney and big ice cream social with homemade pies, cakes and cobblers at the town museum, which houses the world’s largest collection of Bigfoot curios. Whew, that's big.
