Please welcome Strickly Humboldt to the team!
 

Strickly Humboldt is a newer business in town that is developing 
a Humboldt County Tourist Map with a fun "cartoon flavor like Where's Waldo style feel".

The map will highlight businesses with a fun bingo boarder surrounded by business ads.
 

Highlights of the map will include:

- Where to Stay
- Where to Shop
- Where to Eat and Drink
- Things to do
- Holistic Hotspots

 

Also added on the map will be other essential services like gas, information, ATMS, hospitals and selfie spots.

This map will be distributed through those that partner with Strickly Humboldt, as well as throughout the county and at locations in surrounding counties. There will also be information in the Emerald Magazine, Henry Savage and local newspapers.
 

Thank you Strickly Humboldt for partnering with us, we look forward to helping promote your business!
 

If you have a business that would like to be on the map, please set up a time to meet with Sean Knight at 707 932 5012 or email:
