Issue: June 18, 2015
Morning, readers!
We've got some cool stories to keep you company this week, starting with
our feature, which is all about the effort behind--and during--the Chico
Breaks the Record attempt at the Tackle Box. A local writer and musician
offers his insights on how the plan to create the longest continuous
concert, according to Guinness World Record rules, brought together an
entire community. A great read!
In other news: The City Council weighs in on budget issues; BEC seeks
out volunteer plant-waterers for the summer; a local filmmaking couple
gets a big TV deal; and Arts Devo releases his annual list of summer jams.
As always, there's lots more in there, too.
Until next week,
Meredith J. Cooper, associate editor
