After rave reviews for last year’s Huckleberries and Hounds Festival, the Fort Bragg Promotion Committee decided to fund the event for a second year. This year, however, the festival will be moved from the third week of October to the end of September, closer to the midpoint of the huckleberry growing season. Huckleberry King and area supplier Eric Schramm, who invented a machine to clean the pea-size fruit so it’s ready for cooking up pancakes, creating sauces and making ice cream, is gearing up for the season. Johanna Jensen of the Mendocino County Dog Owners Group (McDog) has organized the dog events for a second year. Most interesting to me: doggie art making. Paint will be applied to their feet so they can create their art by running up and down the aisles on an art canvas at Racine’s, an office and art supply store on Franklin Street in Fort Bragg. That will be a sight to see. More than a dozen local restaurants are expected to offer huckleberry infused treats. Among them: Egghead’s corn meal Kansas Cakes and Cafe One’s huckleberry scones.
