Water Wars, a summer tradition organized by A Bolder Humboldt, brought hundreds to beat the heat in downtown Humboldt Saturday morning and afternoon. The events featured a water-themed parade, water slides, a kiddie pool area, a watermelon eating contest and food trucks. The Humboldt Fire Department led a Barrel Blast with teams of local youth.
