The city of Santa Maria’s Recreation and Parks Department is producing an ongoing series of short, family-friendly “how to” videos focused on keeping good physical and mental health during the current COVID-19 quarantine.
The videos are available on the city of Santa Maria’s YouTube channel and range from arts and crafts demonstrations to stay-at-home music lessons (including guitar lessons hosted by former Sun Managing Editor Joe Payne). Creative assignments for viewers to take part in include origami projects and other crafts.
Aside from arts activities, one part of the series, hosted by Bradford Flickinger, focuses on home entertainment and informs families on how to take advantage of streaming services available nowadays. In his first video, Flickinger goes into detail about GeForce Now, a video game streaming service, and demonstrates how patrons can use the app on their computers or phones.
