Issue: May 17, 2018
Morning, readers!
Are you ready for the throngs of graduates and their families this weekend? I expect there will be plenty of celebrating going on—go wild! (Within reason, of course.) Speaking of learning ... one of the ways those of us who aren't on campus every day having our minds molded are able to broaden our horizons is by visiting museums. In this week's feature package, we focus on history museums in Butte County and the people who work tirelessly to keep our history alive through exhibits, storytelling and events.
In other news: Butte County gets a new Continuum of Care coordinator—after three-plus months on the job, she offers her take on the issue and priorities for the future; the Chico City Council goes OFF; and Tinseltown could be getting a bar—say whah?!
Until next time,
Meredith J. Cooper, managing editor
