CLEARLAKE >> Tickets are on sale for the Native American Day Gala to be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, July 18 at the Highlands Senior Center, located at 3245 Bowers Road in Clearlake.
The event will feature the world premiere of “A Walk Through Time,” a 30 minute film about the history of Lake County’s Anderson Marsh and the Koi people who have lived at Anderson Marsh continuously for over 14,000 years.
