Debra Lucero

No one has worked harder to promote our city and county than Debra Lucero. As Friends of the Arts executive director and Butte County tourism director, she has drawn attention to the beautiful side of life with a variety of creative projects. Butte County's colorful display at the California State Fair won a gold ribbon. She steered the HGTV cable network to Chico artist Norm Dillinger (see next item). And coming up soon is Artoberfest and its new event, Chico Palio, which she aims to develop into an event on the scale of the Gilroy Garlic Festival and Ashland Shakespeare Festival. With her infectious passion, she just might do it.
