It's time to meet the locals!

Famous Amens also known as C**t and Mavis- Two people that love to cook and share their love of food with others.

Growing up in Northern California they have Humboldt and Mendocino County roots that run deep with lots of friends and family that they've cooked for over the years. But, one thing they'd found is that a lot of people have a hard time seasoning their foods while cooking even the simplest of meals and when they do it's a “brand name” product comprised of unhealthy fillers in them. So they created Famous Amens, with the goal of producing hearty flavors that are healthier.

You can find Famous Amens seasoning in Fortuna at multiple locations, including Wildwood Saw Shop, Beverage Plus, Village Mini Storage, and more coming soon!

So, spice up your life by shopping local, and support this small business here in Fortuna!

Did you know that this week is Dispatcher Appreciation Week?

These professionals often work long and unpredictable hours, including weekends and holidays, to ensure that emergency services are available 24/7. They are often the first point of contact for people in distress, and they must remain calm and collected under the most stressful of circumstances.

Showing appreciation for dispatchers can come in many forms, from a simple thank you to a balloon popping game for the dispatchers to win prizes! It's important to recognize their hard work and dedication to their communities, and to let them know that their efforts are valued and appreciated.

Thank You Dispatchers!
