Healdsburg Recreation Guide | Spring/Summer 2024

Welcome to the 2024 spring and summer edition of the Recreation Guide. We hope you have an opportunity to experience the many events, parks, programs, and services offered in Healdsburg. The Community Services team strives to provide recreational and experiential programs for all generations within the community, so whether you are 2 or 102, you are sure to find an activity that fits your interest. If you have any questions or suggestions for future program offerings, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to seeing you out in the community in the near future!

The Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), also referred to as a “bed tax” or “room tax”, is a tax assessed to visitors staying in all lodging establishments within the city limits. In 2004, voters passed a ballot measure to ensure there would be an ongoing funding source for parks, recreation and open space by designating 10% of the TOT to fund Community Services/Parks & Recreation. An additional 2% goes to support public safety, and the remaining 2% to support affordable housing initiatives.

THE HISTORY OF THE HOMER: FROM SHOELESS JO TO A-ROD

The home run is without a doubt, the most exciting play in baseball. While purists may enjoy the 1-0 pitcher’s duel, it is the “big fly,” the “long tater,” the “circuit clout” or the “round-tripper” that puts fans in the seats. In this lecture we will trace the “power surge” which transformed the Grand Old Game over the past century.

Mick Chantler (M.A. History) has been a student and instructor of Early American Studies for more than forty years. He currently teaches at several Bay Area lifelong learning programs, including Sonoma State University, Dominican University, UC Berkeley, and University of Santa Clara. His primary interests include the Revolutionary and Civil War eras, and he has also lectured on Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy. Mick is a member of several scholarly organizations including the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic, the Lincoln Forum, and the Society for American Baseball Research.
