Humboldt County development is on a roll

While it’s been a very successful year, the Humboldt County Development Association (HCDA) is pressing forward to continue the positive momentum in the county. Some of the recent developments where HCDA has been involved include the development of the new Humboldt Business Park on the north edge of Humboldt. Bomgaars opened a new 27,000 square foot store in the business park earlier this year. Sister’s Homestyle Entrees has purchased the former Voyager Industries building, a 25,000 square foot facility, in the Northwest Industrial Park with plans to triple its food production. A.P. Air has purchased the former HCDA “spec” building, a 20,000 square foot facility, in the Northwest Industrial Park with expansion in mind. A new industry, Precision Tank and Equipment, opened its new 35,000 square foot manufacturing plant in the Northwest Industrial Park in August and employs 14.

COOK OF THE WEEK - PUMPKIN RECIPES

Where has the year of 2014 gone? Yesterday (Wednesday) was the first day of October. Our days are getting cooler. This is a good time to be inside with a warm oven and the delicious aroma of baking going on. October brings to mind pumpkins. They make such a pretty indoor or outdoor decoration with the addition of other fall beauties. Kids love to visit the pumpkin patch and find their favorite pumpkin to carve into a Jack-o-lantern. What’s more exciting than digging your hands down into the pumpkin to get all the seeds out? Well, if you are a kid, that is! At my age I’d rather buy an artificial pumpkin or jack-o-lantern with a light inside. And if you love to bake, there are so many good recipes you can use pumpkin in. Most pumpkin recipes are pretty down-to-earth and easy to make too. And if you didn’t plant pumpkins this year, you can always go to the store and pick up pumpkin in cans for your recipes.
