Gavin Newsom’s Illegal Labor Problem

It’s 5 a.m. in Napa Valley and the field workers have been picking grapes for an hour. Floodlights illuminate the pitch darkness, bringing to life the vines running up and down the sloping hillside. Off in the distance, a tractor rumbles, pulling a small trailer filled with plastic buckets that will soon be filled with grapes. Spanish chatter fills the air as the workers’ hands move in quick, practiced motions. They work at night to escape the heat. It’s cold enough now that their breath is visible, hanging like smoke before dissipating in the predawn darkness.

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.

California Missions Road Trip: 21-Mission Itinerary

A California missions road trip is the oldest road trip in the state. Between 1769 and 1823, 21 Spanish missions were built along El Camino Real, the Royal Road, from San Diego to Sonoma — about a day’s journey, roughly 30 miles, apart. Today you can drive the whole chain in seven days, visiting the oldest building in San Francisco, the largest mission church in California, the chapel where Junípero Serra is buried, and the site of the Bear Flag Revolt.

Petaluma Veterans Day Parade draws thousands to honor veterans

The streets of downtown Petaluma are lined with little American flags, kids catching candy and people in uniform driving by in all sorts of vehicles. photo credit: Shandra Back/KRCB The streets of downtown Petaluma are lined with little American flags, kids catching candy and people in uniform driving by in all sorts of vehicles. KRCB News speaks with a few Sonoma County local veterans at the parade to hear about their service and what this day means to them. "United States Coast Guard, retired, proudly served," said Josh Curtis. "It's the Petaluma Veterans Day Parade. We have a pretty proud tradition of this in Petaluma and a lot of the community comes out. We're also a Coast Guard town. To me it's about honoring those who serve. My wife is here, and my two kids, and they all sacrificed for me to be able to serve. I gave up lots. I was a reservist for most of my time and I had to give up a lot of weekends and deployed all over the country and had to leave them behind and they had to hold down the fort while I was gone. It takes a lot to do that,"

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.
