Lagoona Kahuna Clean Up Challenge

Lagoona Kahuna Clean Up Challenge

Get ready for an outdoor adventure that’s fun for the whole family! The Lagoona Kahuna Clean Up Challenge is not your average clean-up—it’s an action-packed competition where families, duos, and individuals come together to help protect the Agua Hedionda Lagoon while having a blast. Grab a kayak, paddleboard, or explore on foot as you race to remove trash and invasive species, all while earning points to compete for the coveted Kahuna Title and a custom paddle!

But the fun doesn’t stop there! Participants will enjoy awesome perks like free ice cream from Handel’s, exclusive event t-shirts, and a delicious lunch—because heroes deserve a treat! Plus, expect surprises, friendly team challenges, and an unforgettable day making a difference in your community.

Last year, our amazing volunteers removed over 4,000 pounds of debris, proving that when we work together, we can create a cleaner, healthier lagoon. Whether you’re looking for a unique way to spend time with your family or want to teach your kids about environmental stewardship, the Lagoona Kahuna Clean Up Challenge is the perfect way to get outside, have fun, and give back.

Sign up now and let’s make waves for a cleaner future! 🌊🐠♻️

Shuddersome: Tales of Poe at Theatre School @ North Coast Rep

The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep presents five eerie and macabre Edgar Allen Poe short stories and poems as, Shuddersome: Tales of Poe for its next student production! The thumping of a heartbeat. The creak of a door. The howl of a bitter wind. The gong of a clock tower. The clang of alarm bells. The sound of beating wings getting closer and closer… Specters, ghosts, and ghouls come alive in this vivid theatrical adaptation of some of Edgar Allan Poe’s best-known works. Included are The Tell-Tale Heart, The Bells, The Oval Portrait, The Raven, and The Masque of the Red Death. Poe’s words rise from the page like corpses from the grave. Be careful. Do you hear that tap, tap, tapping?

Assistant Director Steve Smith adds, “It’s perfect to get you in the mood for Halloween. Plenty of creepy moments mixed with celebrations of Poe’s crafty poetry.” The show runs a swift 50 minutes with no intermission and hopes to spook audiences throughout.
