Council, planning commission joint meeting, Feb. 28
The Healdsburg City Council and the Healdsburg Planning Commission will hold a joint meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 28 at 5 p.m. at Healdsburg City Hall. The meeting has two agenda topics:
Getting crafty in Sebastopol
All throughout the month of November, strings of autumn-themed garland hung along the trees of North Main Street in Sebastopol. These were the works of local artist Megan Elizabeth Von Bima, founder of She’s Crafty by ME (ME stands for Megan Elizabeth). But before it was a business, crafting was simply a hobby of Von Bima’s, until her work was discovered by the event organizer for Sebastopol’s Downtown Association, Kathleen Escamilla, who thought Von Bima’s festive holiday garlands would be a fun way to spruce up the main street of Sebastopol.Â

Stage face-off: Revenge vs. rivalry
Local audiences seeking a solid presentation of an American theatrical classic have two very diverse options right now. The Raven Performing Arts Theater hosts Stephen Sondheim’s massive macabre musical, "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," while The 222 offers Sam Shepard’s more intimate fraternal drama, "True West." Both run in Healdsburg through Nov. 8.
