LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — A new community event is set to be introduced next month.

The new Northshore Fall Festival will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 23, on Main Street in Upper Lake.

The festival was the brainchild of Katie DeVries and Ben Guenther, the new owners of Upper Lake Grocery.

The event’s proceeds will benefit the newly formed Northshore Fire Fund, created to raise funds to assist the Northshore Fire Protection District.

There will be barbecue, a beer booth, live music, raffle items, vendor booths, a costume contest, and free arts and crafts fun for children.
