🤠 Wild West Weekend, Hit & Run Arrest, & Another Pedestrian Hit

A big weekend ahead of us and hopefully it will finally cool down…

It’s Wild West Weekend in Vacaville

There’s a chili cook-off and mercantile market on Sunday with live music and kids activities. The Main Grape’s Wine & Beer Festival was rescheduled for May.

This week, Vacaville PD arrested a 21 year-old Vacaville resident in connection with the collision. A Go Fund Me campaign has raised about $5,000 for the dog’s vet bills. READ MORE

One More Thing…

I got to spend a few days in Tahoe this week. It reminded me how many things we have to do within driving distance from home. Whether it’s visiting the wine country, Lake Berryessa, the Sierras, or other things Sacramento and the Bay Area have to offer, we have a lot of options nearby.

Just another reason I love calling Vacaville home.
