THURSDAY LOWDOWN: ‘Best of Humboldt Fair’ Starts Today

All’s fair in Humboldt this weekend thanks to the 2019 edition of the Best of Humboldt Fair which again attempts to seduce you to Redwood Acres Fairgrounds to experience four days worth of the types of down-home joys you are annually reminded you kinda dig. Rides + Curly fries! What could go wrong?

For more information on this year’s various highlights and distractions, from stock car racing to Zulu acrobats, click on over to the Redwood Acres’s website. There, you may purchase tickets to all of fair’s sub-events.
