A Eureka Welcome to the CALED Rural Exchange
On August 7, Humboldt Made was honored to join RREDC in welcoming the CALED Rural Economic Development Exchange to the Eureka with a waterfront reception. The event featured live music, local foods, and Humboldt Made beers, wines, and spirits. The grey skies even parted enough for a spectacular sunset!
The rural exchange is an incredible opportunity for economic development leaders from across the state to come together and learn about opportunities for our rural communities and connect with other professionals in the field. Topics at the conference on Thursday included valuable information about USDA grants, small business development centers, and rural broadband access.

Thank you to all of the community partners and sponsors who helped us put on this wonderful event to highlight Humboldt’s rural sophistication.
