The eagerly awaited opening of the Humboldt Bay Trail segment connecting the cities of Eureka and Arcata will be celebrated on Saturday, June 28. This segment of the Humboldt Bay Trail, also part of the Great Redwood Trail, will be celebrated through a series of activities throughout the day, culminating with a trail party at the Adorni Center, 1011 Waterfront Drive in Eureka from 3:00 to 6:00 PM. The party will include music, food trucks, trail partner tabling and brief comments by invited speakers recognizing the decades of work to make the trail possible. Following the recognition program, dance to the musical stylings of Pandemonium Jones.  Refreshments will be available. Individuals or organizations interested in being a part of this day should contact Carol Vander Meer at: cvandermeer@rcaa.org.
