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.

By Ray Hamill — A memorable season for the McKinleyville Panthers ended in the opening round of the North Coast Section Division-7 playoffs on Friday night. The top seeds in the bracket welcomed No. 8 Kelseyville to Mack High, but it was the lower seeds who would walk away with the victory, rallying late and holding on down the stretch to win 21-18.

The midterm election was a Democratic wave, but underlying numbers show nuance in California

Eric McGhee, fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California, notes multiple of the state's congressional Democrats, won in head to heads against other Democrats this November. photo credit: Wikimedia/Mrs. Gemstones It's been over a week since election day, and more races in Sonoma County and around the state are getting settled. The midterm elections on November 3rd delivered big wins for Democratic Party candidates across the country, the county, and the state. Joanna Paun, endorsed by the Sonoma County Democratic Party in the race for the county's 2nd district supervisor seat, officially declared victory a week after election night. Melanie Bagby, also endorsed by the local democratic party, continues to hold a slim lead in the race for 4th district supervisor. Sonoma County will also be represented by three Democrats in Congress in Washington D.C. Eric McGhee, a senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California said despite the major Democratic Party gains, there's some nuance to the story in California. "If you just look at the races that had both a Democrat and Republican on the ballot, so cross-party contested races, the the swing in those seats was actually smaller than it was in similar seats in

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.

Sonoma Clinics Beat Prop. 44 but Still Face Millions in Medi-Cal Losses Next Year

Sonoma County’s community health centers dodged a bullet when California voters crushed Proposition 44 on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, but local clinic leaders say the relief may be short-lived. Petaluma Health Center alone could lose up to $10 million a year from a mix of federal Medi-Cal reimbursement changes and state dental cuts, even with the ballot measure defeated.
