LAKE COUNTY, Cafli. — Citizens for Healing will host a party to kick off the campaign to change the name of Kelseyville to Konocti on Sunday, April 24.

The all-volunteer, community-based group has been working on the process to make the change, and they believe giving the town a new name could be an act of healing.

Scheduled speakers and presentations, from 4 to 6 p.m., will feature local historian, Kevin Engle, and tribal elder, Clayton Duncan. Live music will follow from 6 to 8 p.m.

Snacks and beverages will be provided for free, with an optional potluck if people wish to contribute. And party guests may also enjoy and dance to the musical talent of “The Konocti Blues Band.”

The event will be held at the Grange Hall in Finley, located at 1510 Big Valley Road, Lakeport.
