LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Police Department is advising community members of noise and traffic in the city as a result of the annual Lake County Bass Bowl on Friday, Nov. 4.

The football game, which pits Clear Lake and Kelseyville high schools, is set to begin at 8 p.m. at the Clear Lake High School football field at 350 Lange St. following the junior varsity game.

Lakeport Police Sgt. Kevin Odom said more than 1,000 people are expected to attend, and traffic in the area will be problematic.

Odom said parking on the campus will be controlled by city of Lakeport Volunteers, California Highway Patrol Explorers and Lake County Sheriff Department Explorers.

Once full, the campus will be closed to all nonessential vehicle traffic. Overflow parking has been arranged at the High Street Village, 1800 block of High Street, the 800 block of North Main Street at the old Natural High campus, and the Fifth and Third Street parking facilities, Odom said. Buses will transport attendees to the game from these areas.

All other attendees’ area reminded to obey all traffic laws and park only in areas legal to do so. All traffic laws will be enforced during this event, Odom said.

He said residents near Clear Lake High School should be prepared for a helicopter flyover as well as additional noise from a Civil War-style cannon.

Event promoters have obtained the necessary permits to fire off the cannon after every touchdown, he said.
