Things are taking shape for the 77th annual Healdsburg Future Farmers Country Fair, perhaps the most thoroughly Healdsburg event on the calendar. Between the culinary “Experience” of last weekend and the oncoming “Edge” of next month, it’s as if history grabs us by the nape and says, “Pay attention to now!”

An increasingly popular local festival returns this year as Scarecrows on the Plaza, bringing the Healdsburg community together to support the arts and Healdsburg youth at Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma-Marin.

Much of contemporary music leans toward infatuation, sex, heartbreak and fury, while few artists seem interested in singing unabashedly about unique expressions of tenderness and enduring devotion. In the months ahead, Aries, your inner life...

“I think one of the things that people don’t think about is how long the produce lasts,” said Janet Ciel, Healdsburg Farmers Market manager. “So you buy from a farmer’s market that was picked that morning or the night before, but when you buy from a grocery store, that same head of lettuce, it’s three or four or five days in a freaking truck before you ever get it to your home!”

& Food Experience, a four-day workout for the palate that draws upon local produce and product to offer a well-rounded “experience” for its participants....

As “Dry January” unrolls, it’s time to examine the physical side of fitness. With three larger gyms and a half-dozen smaller studios, the options for finding an appropriate level of fitness maintenance is up to you. Their offerings are multiple: mat-based barre, Pilates, cycling classes, yoga, strength training, HIIT, cardio dance, even sound baths and mitt boxing.
