CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Due to the Rocky fire causing the quality of air to dramatically decrease in the downtown Clearlake area, the Power to the Youth festival – which was scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 1 – has been postponed.

Organizers said they were very disappointed to make this decision, but believe it to be in the best interests of the health of the attendees.

It also will keep the focus on protecting families and properties as the wildland fire continues burning near the city.

A new date for the event will be announced as soon as it is arranged.
