TapintoTehamahadastrongturnoutin2013. ByRichGreene rgreene@redbluffdailynews.com @richgreenenews on Twitter RED BLUFF After shatter- ing even its own organiz- er's expectations in its in- augural year, Tap into Te- hama returns to Red Bluff River Park Aug. 16. with promises of more brew and more fun. "Trying new local craft beers, celebrating local cul- ture and reinvesting in the community, what is there not to like," organizer Ste- phen Ferguson said. The microbrew festival, which runs 2-6 p.m., will feature around 35 west coast breweries, double the number from last year's first-time effort. Tap into Tehama orga- nizers had expected around 500 attendees a year ago, instead they sold around 625 tickets with proceeds benefiting a restoration of the historic Odd Fellows Building. Proceeds this year will benefit the Red Bluff-Te- hama County Chamber of Commerce, which has part- nered with the event to help with promotion. "Tap into Tehama has turned into an amazing lo- cal and regional event al- most overnight," Chamber CEO Dave Gowan said. Entertainment will be presented by Tehama County's own BandMaster Ruckus. Food will be provided by an assortment of food trucks from across north- ern California with the highlight being a Tehama County inspired pizza from Bruciante Wood-Fired Pizza.

RED BLUFF Officers from the Red Bluff Police Department conducted an undercover court sting operation Monday morning at the Te- hama County Superior Court targeting sus- pected DUI drivers whose licenses where sus- pended or revoked or who were unlicensed drivers. Officers staked out offenders who had been told by a judge not to drive or who had been told of their license suspension, according to a release from the department. Six offenders were followed by officers from courtrooms to their vehicles to ensure they were not driving. While some offenders complied with the law and had alternate means of transportation, three individuals in court for DUI proceeded to get behind the wheel and drive away from the court house, the release said. Those who chose to drive were stopped by waiting officers. The three stopped for driving while sus- pended or unlicensed and cited back into court were suspended for DUI related offenses and RBPD 3 nabbed in court sting operation STING PAGE 7 » redbluffdailynews.com Wednesday, August 13, 2014 50CENTS AN EDITION OF THE CHICO ENTERPRISE-RECORD 7 58551 69001 9 Volume129,issue189 Today's web bonus The Expendables 3.redbluffdailynews.com CHAMBER Crawdad Festival around the corner Business A4 8-MAN FOOTBALL Mercy welcomes new coach Sports B1 FORECAST High: 87 Low: 62 B8 Grow?Ranchorride?
