In other news: A health fair in Southside Oroville mirrors the health-care crisis in this nation; Chico’s first LEED-certified subdivision; Henri studies 250 years of Guinness; and Meredith J. Cooper has a date with Pearl Jam at Outside Lands.
Don’t forget to vote for Best of Chico. There are just a few days left—polls close at 11:59 p.m. Sunday (Sept. 6).
And ... it’s Poetry 99 time. And this year we have a few surprises.
