The Fun Was With Me At FOREST MOON FESTIVAL 2024!

Leave a comment

On the last weekend of May, Humboldt and Del Norte Counties got their lightsabers, Leia buns, and Baby Yoda ears out for the Forest Moon Festival! In its 2nd year running, this festival was all about celebrating the history between our Redwoods and the Endor scenes from the finale of the OG Star Wars trilogy, Return of the Jedi, and getting to show off some geekiness here and there too!

Redwood Voice’s Monique Camarena was on the ground to see what was going on at this Endor-inspired event, and find out why this movie makes Crescent City feel a little more special!

A Haunt to Die For—An “Investigation” of the Haunted Elk Valley Casino

Leave a comment

Redwood Voice Youth Ghost Hunting & Parapsychology, the most logical use of our time and resources, takes its first steps into the abandoned Elk Valley Casino. (Not to be confused with the not-abandoned Elk Valley Casino.)

The case is obscure, reports are wild—chainsaw-wielding maniacs, undead, bones, and a strange spirit with a golden face who embodies the ghost of avarice and bad decisions. Will the team uncover the mysteries deep within the bowels of the casino? Or will they… not do that?
