Lake Sonoma Steelhead Festival @ Lake Sonoma Fish Hatchery
Feb 8 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Here’s a local journalistic opportunity. The Steelhead Festival happens when the fish are running. The event is free and offers exhibits, tours, fishing, art projects, archery, a bubble show, food trucks, wine and beer, and live music by Heartwood Crossing. We’ll meet for lunch at noon and see if we can find a picnic area. Feel free to bring a picnic lunch if you’d prefer not to buy food from one of the trucks.

Dogs are discouraged due to the large size of the event and the number of children and strollers.

If there’s interest, we can meet for lunch at noon at Yeti Himalayan restaurant, catty corner and across the street from the Flamingo. The address is 190 Farmers Lane, but it’s easier to go into the parking lot from the street that goes right to the Flamingo.

Shoot from Home @ Your Home and neighborhood
Apr 19 all-day

We know we’re sheltering-in-place (SIP) at least through April, so here’s a little something to stimulate your photographic creativity! Within the strictures of SIPping, this field trip will take place inside your home, outside your home, and on neighborhood walks for one day, as long as you follow social distancing and protective gear rules. Subjects and techniques are only limited by your imagination.

Please RSVP to Trisha if you’re participating. Hope you can make it!
