Here is What Humboldt is Doing For Veterans Day
UPDATE, 12:20 p.m.: See? We told you. Above, local people gather for the Rotary Club of Southwest Eureka’s annual Veteran’s Day program at the Adorni Center. Carry on.

Original Post: Your Lost Coast Outpost joins the rest of America in high-fiving soldiers today. A quick look at your Lowdown listings today reveals a few gatherings we were able to confirm as happening. The biggest local Veterans Day observance, as is the case most years, will again take place at the Adorni Center and will be highlighted by musical performances by students from Eureka High, as well as the Humboldt Harmonaires.
As day turns to night, should you want to but some music in your ears, consider the Arcata Playhouse as a destination. While singer/songwriter Steve Poltz had to pull out of tonight’s show due to illness, headliner Ellis Paul is still making the trek. Over a quarter century of writing and performing, the Boston-based songwriter has managed to produce 19 albums as well as pick up 15 Boston Music Awards. To get a better idea of what Paul is bringing to the aural table, your Lowdown presents the clip below, appropriately enough, a song titled “Plastic Soldiers.”
