After the TubaChristmas concert, we stopped for a mid-afternoon look at the newly remodeled location of Dick Taylor Craft Chocolate and discovered a lot of work was still in progress just a few hours before the soft opening in only a few hours. Co-founder Dustin Taylor graciously gave us a mini-tour and then got back to work.

After carefully watching the weather forecast all day, Duane Flatmo didn't let light rain deter him and his El Pulpo Magnifico performance for a large crowd at Arts Alive in Eureka's Old Town on Saturday night. Light from the flames of El Pulpo Magnifico were reflected in water droplets on the hood of a nearby parked car.
