Humboldt is currently known for a few things. Marijuana? Sure. Giant trees? Absolutely. But we at LoCO wonder: If we play our cards right, could our fair, sophisticated county someday be internationally known for one of our more unique and wonderful innovations? Will we get credit for being the birthplace of Quadiators? I mean, it's only a matter of time before this thing catches on elsewhere, right?
Time will tell. In the meantime, Fortuna Rodeo Week kicks into high gear tonight with the return of the annual Motorsports Night, again headlined by the human Mario Kart spectacle known as Quadiators.
