Recap of California Street Labs Launch Event!
On Friday, October 5th, the warehouse renovation in downtown Redding passed the final inspections!
Wasting no time, community members were invited in the very next day for a launch party. This marks the launch of California Street Labs, a place for community members to come together to test ideas and actions that build a vibrant downtown and a great city.
Together with Shasta Living Streets who is the Activation Lead on the project, The McConnell Foundation would like to thank everyone involved in making so much happen in such a short period of time, especially:
Josh Mangahis of Maxwell’s Pizza
Wiley and Tiffanie Saccheri of Sublime Cake Design
Ryan Manley of From the Hearth Downtown
Robie Clearie of Tents & Events
Benjamin Nouwain from Redding VR
Buck Simonis of Snow Mountain Spring Water
Sara Oliviera and Tyler Faires of Faires Wheel Filmes
Curtis Boek of Cox Real Estate Consultants
Richard Huff of The McConnell Foundation
All of the vendors, and of course
& a legion of volunteers from Shasta Living Streets.
Here is a quick snapshot of the opening hours, with thanks to Faires Wheel Films for the photos!:
