Up and at 'em, Huntington Beach, and happy National Marzipan Day! Here's everything you need to know to get this Wednesday started off right.

The Be Well OC program is working. Also, the Mayor is asking her followers to support Bushman Orozco. Finally, the owner of In-N-Out Burgers is hosting a car show.

First, today's weather:

Sunny to partly cloudy. High: 73 Low: 52.

Here are the top five stories today in Huntington Beach:

  1. The Be Well OC program is working. On Monday, the HBFD requested assistance from the program to assist “an individual in Sunset Beach who asked for help getting clean & sober.” Program representatives connected with several treatment facilities and located a center in the OC that had an opening. Representatives then transported the individual to the location for treatment. (@HBPoliceDept)

  2. We recently reported on the graffiti-removal campaign of Bushman Orozco. His work caught the attention of Mayor Barbara Delgleize, who shared the link to Orozco’s GoFundMe campaign, which raises money for paint and supplies. She urged her followers to “support purchasing supplies for Bushman.” (@Barbara4HB)

  3. Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson, the owner of In-N-Out Burgers, is “hosting the Cruisin’ 2 Freedom Car Show and a Car Cruise.” The event takes place Saturday at the OC Fair & Event Center. Proceeds benefit the Slave 2 Nothing non-profit organization, which seeks to “improve the lives of individuals and families affected by substance abuse and/or human trafficking.” (News Santa Ana)

  4. Dole Fresh Vegetables Inc. is expanding its recall of “packaged salads containing iceberg lettuce.” There is a risk of listeria contamination. The recall began in December when two individuals died and 16 fell ill. Processing plants for the affected lettuce were in Springfield, Ohio, and Soledad, California. (Patch)

  5. The OC Cherry Blossom Festival has been canceled. Originally scheduled for March 11 to 13, the organizers cited “an abundance of caution” and “the current surge in cases of COVID-19” on Friday. At this time, they ask that you mark your calendar for March 10 to 12, 2023 for next year’s event. (Occbfest)
