THURSDAY LOWDOWN: You May Breathe the Same Barbecue Air as Guy Fieri Today
FIERI ALERT.
If you have yet to make it down to the 122nd Humboldt County Fair, in short, shame on you. But if you were to pick a day on which to redeem yourself, do note that Thursday marks the return of Ferndale’s favorite native son-turned-celebrity chef.
Yes, Guy Fieri will be strutting around the Humboldt County Fairgrounds this day while he hosts the annual barbecue competition, which runs from noon to 6 p.m., allegedly. You have LoCO‘s permission to pester Guy for a selfie. Good luck.
In non-Fair news, The Jam hosts “onemanphunkband” Henry + The Invisibles tonight. Sample his loops in the clip below.
