6874.	Railroad fire changed face of Suisun in 1906 / Bowen, Jerry [601] [WAYITWAS-2005-601] With all the disasters flooding the news, I might as well add one more, although it's nowhere near on the scale of Hurricane Katrina. It happened in 1906. No, this story isn't about the San Francisco earthquake on April 18, 1906. That was already old news, at least for the local folks. Detailed record - Similar records
6875.	First Solano fair didn't fare well financially / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [599] [WAYITWAS-2005-599] By 1930, most counties in California had established their own county fair. Weir felt that a county fair, showcasing agriculture, technology and local businesses, would be an efficient way to promote Solano County to its own citizens and to California at large.

6876.	Scout movement still merits badge of honor / Bowen, Jerry [598] [WAYITWAS-2005-598] The Boy Scouts have been in a negative spotlight much too often lately. I think that much of what scouting has been and continues to be, is a positive force for young men and women all over the world. Detailed record - Similar records
6877.	County's first fair boasted fairly ambitious fare / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [597] [WAYITWAS-2005-597] Named "The Bells of Solano County Exposition," it took place in Fairfield in late May 1930. The initial idea for this event came from Solano Republican publisher David A. Weir. His goal was to combine his newspaper's 75th anniversary with a large, agriculture-oriented fair showcasing the county. Detailed record - Similar records
6878.	Rio Vista man survives war as a POW / Bowen, Jerry [596] [WAYITWAS-2005-596] When we last left George Nelson of Rio Vista, he had been transferred by the Japanese to Camp XII on April 10, 1944, at Hotachi, near Tokyo where as a prisoner of war he was required to work in a copper mine.

6879.	Bells of Solano rang with enthusiasm / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [595] [WAYITWAS-2005-595] This is the third installment of the development of "The Bells of Solano County," the first Solano County Fair. It took place in Fairfield in May 1930. The idea for the fair was conceived by David A. Weir, then publisher of the Solano Republican [...] Detailed record - Similar records
6880.	As tide of World War II shifts, so does the fate of prisoners / Bowen, Jerry [594] [WAYITWAS-2005-594] In my last column we told of George Nelson's imprisonment at Bilibid prison hospital in Manila, Philippines, for 10 months while his wounds healed and of his later transfer to the notorious Cabanatuan Prison Camp where he arrived May 17, 1943.

6881.	Fair had no trouble attracting volunteers / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [592] [WAYITWAS-2005-592] Late in 1929, Solano County residents once again began preparations for a large fair event. "The Bells of Solano County" was a brainchild of Solano Republican publisher David A. Weir and was heralded as the Solano County Exposition and County Fair. It was to take place May 24 to June 1, 1930. Detailed record - Similar records
6882.	Travails of a prisoner of the Japanese in war / Bowen, Jerry [591] [WAYITWAS-2005-591] In my last column, I wrote about the fall of Corregidor to the Japanese on May 8, 1942, and the surrender of American forces on Bataan the following day. Detailed record - Similar records
6883.	Exposition was to showcase county / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [590] [WAYITWAS-2005-590] As many of my readers have guessed by now, I am intrigued by the number of great community events, celebrating a specific moment in local history or just life in general and usually involving the whole county, that have taken place over the last 150 years of Solano County's existence. Headlines of the various local newspapers always spout tantalizing words such as "thousands of visitors," "pageants," "gigantic" and "spectacular," and recount the enormous efforts to create these elaborate festivals.
