What a fabulous event! Very well attended.

From woodworking and sewing, to coding and battling robots, The Shasta Mini Maker Faire offered glimpses into the many Makers we have locally.

We had an absolute blast! Thank you organizers, participants, and volunteers.

Makers. They’re Really Redding.

The hill on Placer Street yesterday became a giant urban waterslide for a day.

Portions of the money raised here will go toward rebuilding the facilities at Kid’s Kingdom, a park in east Redding we’re very fond of. Judging by turnout, the event was big success. I’m told there were over 4000 participants.

Active Norcal presents a bunch of images of Slide the City Redding collected from social media at the link.

Close off a major street for a giant urban waterslide, that’s Really Redding.

Re-posting this video we did a few years ago of the annual Asphalt Cowboy’s Pancake Breakfast that takes place each year on Friday of Rodeo Week. We’ve been going to this annual fundraising breakfast for as long as I can remember, and obviously we aren’t alone. I think it’s really unique to our town, and a terrific example of the true Redding spirit. Tomorrow morning, on Market Street at the Cascade Theatre block.

Breakfast with 10,000 or so of my friends and neighbors. That’s Really Redding.

We attended the Spooktoberfest put on by Turtle Bay with kids and grandkids in tow. It was very well attended. A few scenes:

Above, the super cute costume contest.

Thanks to Turtle Bay for this fun experience from our family and all the others who enjoyed the evening! It’s Really Redding.

Actually a pretty momentous occasion for our town. Makes me (even more) proud to be a citizen of Redding. Copied this from Facebook/ReviveRedding. Just have to share!

The photo I took of the Redding Beer & Wine Festival and posted here a few years back has become iconic for the event. It is one of my favorite Redding events, and one of my favorite photos too. See you there!

We stopped by the Pop Up Parklet and Market Hall on California Street in Redding and snapped a few images. This event goes on for just 3 days, Sept 17-19, so be sure to stop by and catch a glimpse of a perhaps more friendly urban Redding street.

WHAT IS THIS EVENT?
It’s a temporary, community-led project to look at downtown Redding from the perspective of community members and business owners and pilot new ways to build the community we want – today!

We will get creative, share new ideas and create immeasurable goodwill for local businesses and the downtown district.

The three-day event includes

A people-friendly outdoor seating area creating a parklet and a bicycle corral, with other living streets features such as creative wayfinding signs. This is a public park, and is open all day to the public.
A culinary and local business pop-up offering local gourmet foods and gifts. The Market Hall will be open from 7:30 a.m to 10:00 p.m. each day, with breakfast, lunch, and an evening reception each day.
