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.
4th Annual Up in Smoke BBQ Competition will be held at Blue Lake Casino and Hotel. Attendees can expect to fill up on all-you-can eat samples of ribs and chicken, painstakingly prepared by the competitors. There will be a judged event, as well as a People's Choice Award, allowing competitors to see where they stack up with professional judges, as well as with the public. This event is now sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbecue Society, a national organization dedicated to promoting and enjoying BBQ. There will also be a Kid's Zone, courtesy of the Redwood Discovery Museum. Tickets will be available soon through Eventbrite.
