The big news is that Thursday (April 25) is opening night at the Humota. It's the grand-reopening since the theater closed on Feb. 1.
A local non-profit group of volunteer community members are re-opening the theater with a special showing of the Avengers: Endgame at 7 p.m. The theater will be open for business with two showings nightly during the week on every night but Monday, when the theater will be closed. For this attraction, there will be four showings on Saturdays and Sundays.
It is only fitting that the first movie to play in the newly remodeled and community-operated Humota Theater is the non-stop action flick Avengers: Endgame.

Be prepared for more construction on Highways 3 and 169 in the coming two weeks, the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) reports.
Patching work on Highway 3 will continue this week. A new turn lane has been under construction at the northwest corner of Highway 3 and Highway 169.
The big changes will occur beginning next week. However, you may not see much of it. Most of the work will be done at night.
According to Jason Ruter, DOT construction technician supervisor with the District 2 office in Mason City, there will be an overlay of portions of both highways extending from the four-way intersection where the two highways intersect.
“Pavement scarification (milling) will begin at the four-way intersection of Highway 3 and Highway 169 in Humboldt and will extend 1,400 feet to the west on Highway 3 and 2,700 feet to the north on Highway 169, basically to the intersection of 16th Avenue North,” Ruter said.
