Christmas trees become tradition in 1800s / Delaplane, Kristin [266] [ECHOS-1995-266]
Information for this article came from the Solano County archives. Last in a series By 1877, there were beginning to be a number of family Christmas trees, and it was also noted that it was becoming a custom to have a public Christmas tree. Apparently the public tree was not located in a church, but in another building or hall. It was felt by some that this "public tree" made an ostentatious display of the holiday, at the same time recognizing that it did give the children a great deal of joy.

Acres of fun 'Eat, drink and get a pumpkin at Bishop farm in Wheatland / Dingler, Nancy [469] [RETROSPECT-2001-469]
Wheatland, I answered the call of my grandchildren, "Can we go pick our own pumpkins?" Being an indulgent grandmother, I wanted to find the greatest pumpkin patch on the West Coast, as long as it was within a day's reach, that is. Serendipitously, a story appeared on the TV about the great pumpkin farm in Wheatland. It was destiny - meant to be. With a little research, I mapped out the path to the glorious Bishop Pumpkin Farm with 72 acres of fun and pumpkins.
