Remembering some Christmas pasts
/
Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[50]
[WAYITWAS-2000-50]

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.

Gold Rushed Vacaville's Beginning
/
Bowen, Jerry
[17]
[WAYITWAS-2000-17]
Gold has been described in a host of fanciful terms. It has been said to be the folly of man, the savior of civilization, a barbarous relic, the root of all evil and the symbol of perfection.
