Humboldt Commemorates 9/11
(Above: Last year’s 9/11 Parade in Fortuna.)
In the event that you’d like to gather with other Humboldters to have a solemn 9/11 moment of remembrance, you have a couple options:
- Humboldt Bay Fire and the Eureka Police Department will hold a bell ceremony at noon ceremony at Humboldt Bay Fire Station No. 1 in Eureka.
- Fortuna’s annual 9/11 Memorial Parade will again proceed down Main Street starting at noon ending with a patriotic ceremony at the Veteran’s Memorial Building. The Outpost attended this event last year. It featured a tank.
