Humboldt

The latest installment of the Museum’s exhibit series “Stories of Humboldt” features three new stories from the region.

Learn about the Marysburg Royals, an iconic regional baseball team; the Heritage Garden, a hidden gem in Humboldt’s downtown; and the tragic story of the murder of Antena Kropa on Christmas Day in 1929.

The public is invited to join at the Museum on Wednesday, July 23 at 7:00 pm to take in the new exhibit. Everyone is invited to share any information about these stories, or any other topic related to Humboldt and area history.

Systematic government collection and analysis of data about mysterious sightings in the sky could help Canada better prepare for incidents like the sudden appearance of several high-altitude balloons over North America two years ago, says a report from the federal science adviser.

One of the balloons, which wafted above western Canada in early 2023 before being shot down off the U.S. coast, apparently originated from China and carried sophisticated equipment.

The balloon episodes generated intense public speculation before fading from the headlines.
