Windsor's Wine Country Women's Festival Vanishes Weeks Before Vendors' Big Day
A festival billed as a celebration of connection and community for Nov. 14 at Keiser Park in Windsor has instead turned into a cautionary tale, with the town canceling the park-rental application. The Wine Country Women's Festival had an active registration site, a certificate of insurance for more than 1,500 attendees, and a deposit on file — but no actual permission to use the park, and, by all appearances, nothing resembling a real event behind the paperwork.

Tractors in full twinkle rule this whimsical wine country parade
DRAPING STRINGS OF LIGHTS... across all sorts of large objects and enormous yard features, from porches to pergolas, has become a whimsical way of life for those people who adore decorating for the holidays. Other sizable spots, including garage doors, swing sets, and oversized gates also get the glittery treatment each year. When it comes to vehicles, however, the decorating remains generally demure: You might spy a wreath hooked to the front of a car's grill or perhaps an elf doll placed near a car's rear window. But there's a town in Calistoga that likes to fabulously festoon all sorts of things on wheels, especially the huge machines that dutifully serve our communities on farms or by delivering food and a plethora of much-needed goods. It's the Lighted Tractor Parade, a colorful and quirky Calistoga tradition, and big trucks, hefty construction vehicles, lengthy flatbeds and other on-the-roll mega machines make merry appearances in the popular procession, one of the only events of its twinkly type.

Ukiah church serves up gratitude at annual appetizer competition
Nestled on the table among mossy logs and little forest creatures, Amy and Marti Aikman’s stuffed mushrooms were the entry to challenge. The Aikman’s have won first prize for three years in a row in the Ukiah United Methodist Church’s Attitude of Gratitude Appetizer Competition held last Saturday at the church. Attendees at this fun-filled fundraiser were the judges of twelve different offerings from the assembled chefs, ranging from smoked pulled pork sliders and baby back ribs to a variety of delectable crostini. The judges once again voted for the stuffed mushrooms, with Beverly Williams and Sandy Ford’s Hot Artichoke Dip and Geraldo Ramirez and Josh Small’s “Mystery Appetizer” tied for the next prize. But, Vivian White’s modestly named “Lettuce Wraps” won top honors for the event this year.

East Perkins Street Multimodal Transportation Plan
The City of Ukiah is making a long-term plan to make East Perkins Street safer and easier to use for everyone, however they get around. The plan covers East Perkins Street from Main Street to Oak Manor Drive. This is a planning project, not a construction project. The recent paving and lane work improved East Perkins Street, but this plan will help define its long-term future. Looking 5 to 10 years ahead, it will give the City a community-supported plan to use when applying for funding to design and build improvements.
