On Wednesday the Outpost received word from the Humboldt Folklife Society that it had made the difficult decision to call off its Friday night St. Patrick’s Barn Dance at the Arcata Veterans’ Hall. It was the first local event cancellation we’d received that cited coronavirus as its motivation. 

“In light of the global virus outbreak and current public health recommendations,” HFS wrote, “dance organizers and musicians are taking on the social responsibility to help reduce spread in the wider community – cancellation of large social gatherings is a preventive measure that has been proven effective historically.  Many people in our community are at higher risk, by virtue of their age, their compromised immunity, or other issues.”

Just a day later — and in light of some newly released gatherings guidelines from California public health officials — the cancellation/postponement list is growing. So, in the interest of keeping Humboldt in the know as to which local events they should NOT plan on attending, we’re going to keep an easily bookmarked running tally, below, here on LoCO.
