More on Blue Lake businesses and how they are thriving/surviving during these tough times. We hear from the Blue Lake Rancheria and Tomaso’s Specialty Foods:

“With the surge of COVID-19 cases in the region, Blue Lake Rancheria has chosen to temporarily close the Blue Lake Casino, associated restaurants and the Sapphire Palace Event Center. Blue Lake Hotel (reduced capacity) and Play Station 777 remain open at this time as essential services for the community. The Tribe will continue to monitor the situation and make decisions in the best interest of the Tribe, our Team, and our community.”

“Tomaso’s is open and working hard everyday to keep the grocery stores in Humboldt full with local products. We not only produce Tomaso’s brand products, but we distribute about 15 plus local brands. We employ 7 full-time workers and a few part-time people.”
