"We have three different nurs- eries of plants here available in one parking spot rather than folks having to drive around," said Sacramento River Discov- ery Center volunteer Executive Director Bobie Hughes. "We are working together to have differ- ent varieties of plants from each nursery to provide a one-stop shopping experience for plants that are both drought tolerant and climatized to this area."

Ide Adobe State His- toric Park. The annual event, hosted by the Ide Adobe Interpretive Asso- ciation who is a non-profit that supports the park, had six teams competing in the double elimina- tion tournament where everyone was required to dress in 1850 pe- riod appropriate attire and play twice before being out of the bracket. "This is our 34th annual year," said Ide Adobe Interpretive Asso- ciation Treasurer Michelle Weigel. "It's more about an educational event and experience than rais- ing funds. We just hope to at least break even. It's a great way to ex- perience life in the 1850's for those who enjoy history." Along with players pitching horseshoes made for draft horses, there were pioneer games above the horseshoe pit to entertain any children brought along to watch and a quilting frame set up with volunteers working on it to give visitors a chance to learn about quilting or give it a try them- selves.

JULIE ZEEB — DAILY NEWS By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF Thousands were expected to converge on down- town Red Bluff Friday and Sat- urday for the annual Tehama County Arts Council ArtWalk event when about 25 businesses hosted a number of local artists. "Certainly, we draw peo- ple from Chico to Redding and there are people that make it a point to come out to this ev- eryyear from out of town," said Tehama County Arts Council Chairman Robert Bird. "I'd say we definitely get a few thousand and some have estimated about five thousand." The event is a collaborative effort between the arts council and the local downtown busi- nesses, many of whom have said they get quite a few sales on the two nights of the ArtWalk event, he said. "It's about getting people out to enjoy art, which is the main reason for what we as a coun- cil do as part of our mission," Bird said. "It's a good experi- ence and it's a way to get peo- ple into downtown as well. It's a free event and we know that people and the businesses look forward to it every year." Bianca Bradshaw of Elmore's Pharmacy grew up in the Mc- Cloud area and first heard about "a fun little art event" from her sister. She has enjoyed getting to take part in it and likes that it gets people coming into the store who may not normally have come through the doors, she said. Steve Ferchaud of Para- dise who was showcasing art- work for an upcoming book he wrote and illustrated featuring a gnome sees it as a great chance to come home and show off his work, having grown up in Red Bluff, he said. "This is my fourth year par- ticipating in ArtWalk and I love it," Ferchaud said. "I come back because I love talking with peo- ple about what I do. I do more whimsical art and it's something different from what others do." Venues had food and vari- ety of wines including Bianchi Orchards, which was set up at Crystal Art and Apparrel, and at RED BLUFF ARTWALK BRINGS ART TO DOWNTOWN PHOTOS BY JULIE ZEEB – DAILY NEWS Artist Steve Ferchaud of Paradise talks with an attendee about his gnome drawings created for a book he wrote during ArtWalk.
