ByJulieZeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF A rainbow of colors descended upon the Sacred Heart Parish School parking lot Saturday in the form of clouds of powder and in the clothing and costumes worn by run- ners at the inaugural Color Dash 5k Run held jointly by Sacred Heart and Mercy High School. For at least five years, the school held a fun run but decided to change it up a bit this year, said committee member Allison Marshall. "The fun run was originally started to pro- mote healthy living," Marshall said. "In the spirit of bringing something healthy to the community the committee decided to do the color dash because it brings more people." While the fun run has brought as many as 102, the Color Dash in its first year had 400 people pre-register for the race, Marshall said. "The numbers show that there are people in the community interested in health," Mar- shall said. "The support of the community, es- pecially the businesses, is amazing. They've all brought something here for free for the event. We also have 40 volunteers. The committee is small, but the amount of people who come to do the work is huge and we couldn't do it with- out them. This event is not about me, but the committee and community working together." The event is a fundraiser for the elementary and high schools and organizers are expect- ing to raise about $10,000 with about $5,000 of that from sponsors for the runners in the form of cash donations, Marshall said. EVENT By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF The State Theatre will be hosting a screening of the film Back to the Future at 7 p.m. Wednesday at 333 Oak St. in Red Bluff. "The theater is showing the original Back to the Future in honor of the date that Marty Mc- Fly visited in the future, Oct. 21, 2015, (in Back to the Future Part II)," said Linda Bullock, front house manager of the theater. Back to the Future was directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Zemeckis and Bob Gale. The classic film stars Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson. The film premiered in 1985 and it was followed by Back to the Future Part II in 1989 and Back to the Future Part III in 1990.

The theme for their table was Monopoly. By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter DAIRYVILLE A little rain early in the event didn't keep the crowds from at- tending the 18th annual Dairyville Orchard Festi- val, with at least half the field used for parking full before 10:30 a.m. "We've never had rain be- fore," volunteer Kathy Gar- cia said. "We've had rain right before and right after, but never during an event. It's a good turnout with the rain. We've had touch and go with the rain, but just look at the amount of peo- ple." Garcia said she is grateful for the partnerships like the Antelope and Berrendos Fid- dlers, who showed up to per- form for nothing more than a meal ticket and the expo- sure to a crowd before play- ing at the Western Open Fid- dle contest next weekend. One parent of a fiddler said she thought the weather would mean it would be eas- ier to find parking, but was surprised to see a decent crowd still out so early in the event. The numbers appeared to be about normal atten- dance with at least a few thousand expected to wan- der amongst the roughly 50 booths throughout the day, Garcia said. With the early harvest of many crops this year some of the farmers who are typi- cally busy with harvest dur- ing the event were able to at- tend, she said. "The last of the crops we brought for the commodity tent are just out of the or- chard," Garcia said. "Some of it is as fresh as last week and it doesn't get any fresher than that." In all, there were 600 pounds of Chandler walnut halves, 200 pounds of wal- nut baker bits, 300 pounds of California Supreme al- monds, 550 pounds of pis- tachios, 100 pounds of sliced almonds, 240 pounds of pe- cans and various products from Sunsweet, Pacific Sun Farms and Blue Diamond, said festival chairwoman Cyndi Gilles. There were novelties like Walnettos, which are a walnut and car- amel candy, choco almonds, choco rocks and about 300 pounds of Kimmie Candy Co. products. "We received about 1,400 pounds of product to bag just this week," Gilles said. Over the 18 years of the festival there have been about $179,000 in scholar- ship funds raised for stu- dents who attended Lassen View Elementary School, where the event is held, and students studying agricul- ture at a college or univer- sity. The festival has grown tremendously from its hum- ble beginnings, when orga- nizers had a plan B of mov- ing things into the gym in the event of rain, Garcia said.
