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.

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.

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.

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.
