By KENT THOMPSON
The 14th annual Humboldt Arts Festival features something for everyone when it comes to town on Saturday, June 15.
The event will be at the Humboldt County Historical Museum grounds, 905 1st Ave. N., Dakota City. The event will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with children’s art ending at 2 p.m.
Amber Olson and Kate Smith are serving as the co-chairs for this year’s Festival. Olson assisted Lori Curran last year.
“The event is a way for us to give back to the community with a free event that celebrates the arts in all of its manifestations,” Olson said.
For example, there will be creative artistic expression through a number of activities and crafts for children, the display of handmade items by the 20 or so artisans who will be displaying and selling their wares. There will be live entertainment — musical and comedy.

Public open house at Chantland South Plant

Submitted by admin on Thu, 05/16/2019 - 10:05am

A robot is shown welding a part at The Chantland Company South Plant. It is one of two robots utilized. An Open House is scheduled for Saturday, May 18, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Chantland South Plant, located one and one-half miles south of Humboldt on Highway 169.

By JEFF GARGANO
The public has the opportunity to tour the Chantland South Plant on Saturday, May 18, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and enjoy a hot dog.
“How many people have driven by thousands of times and have no idea what we do,” Chantland President Jerry Heathman said. “While on our way home on a Sunday night recently, my wife and I stopped at the plant. In 37 years I’ve been with the company she’d never been to the plant. How many other spouses of employees and their children had never been in the plant? We decided to open it up to the public to show what we do.”
Inside the 180,000 square foot facility, the 130 employees manufacture pulleys and rollers for conveyor systems.
“If you fly your bag has been moved on a Chantland pulley. Amazon and Target all move product on Chantland pulleys. Our products are used around the world,” Heathman said.
