Well, it is Cruise Night again tonight in downtown Winters. The Buckhorn has there tri tip sandwiches for sale for $5. each, such a deal. Cheaper than at the Davis Farmers Market which will be tomorrow night! There are lots of cars and it is a beautiful evening. The cars are lined up on both sides of the street and down the middle of the street. Grab your partner and come on down and enjoy the fun. I have my little 88 560 SL convertible out there as my hubby’s insistence. Looking forward to seeing you.

Bike Riding Through Winters

Sandy Vickrey — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 23:41:57 +0000

I found this article in the Outboud section of the Sacramento Bee yesterday and wanted to share it. I actually had a friend stop by the office today and she had rescued a biker out on Pleasants Valley Rd who was having problems with his bike. She loaded him into her truck and drove him into town to VeloCity to get the problem fixed. I asked the gentleman, Craig, if he had seen yesterday’s article and he said, yes, that was why he was in town. The last I saw him he was headed down to the Putah Creek Cafe for lunch. Little did he know John Pickerel was the guest on Kitty O’Neal’s Restaurant Talk today on KFBK 1530 at 3:30pm. It was fun to listen to John, great job, don’t think I will cook tonight! http://www.sacbee.com/2010/07/15/2890118/great-rides-out-past-winters-plenty.html

: The Corner of Railroad and Main, Winters

Well the Amgen tour just rolled through town in day2 of the tour. It is always so exciting to seem them roll/streak down Main Street. I am so lucky so they go right my office. This is always a fun event to watch. There was a very slight sprinkle when them came through town but it is dry now. Hope the weather holds as they ride by Lake Berryessa on Highway 128.

Cruzin’ in Winters

Tonight Main Street will be closed off from 5-7:30pm for Cruz Night. So, bring your vintage car down and join the fun or do like my hubby and I do and check out the old cars. John sold his o32B Ford years ago and his sons will never forgive him. I used to call it his BS car (before Sandy). He finally paid someone to finish the rehab as he was never going to have time to get it finished in this lifetime. It was fun for a few years. We took it to Cruise Night in Woodland before that became a fiasco and he entered it some car shows. Guess those boys need to think about buying their own and making their own memories.

Our State Fair is a Great State Fair!

Sandy Vickrey — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 15:58:35 +0000

I am off to help out at the Realty World Capital Trade Group’s booth at the California State Fair. This is the third year I have helped. I have so manyfond memories of going to the fair when I was a kid. When I was growing up my dad judged the county exhibits, that was a big part of the experience. How many turtles and gold fish did I bring home? Totally lost count. Every evening when it got dark they had fireworks which was huge attraction. I believe this is still a tradition and that they are set off over by the race track. Going to the fair is a tradition I carried on with my own kids. So, grab the family or friends and head on over to Sacramento and have some fun and come by our booth and say hi. Have a good weekend!

Winters FFA sweeps at Yolo County Fair

Tyler and his prized turkey

It was an exciting time in the auction arena yesterday at the Yolo County Fair. The Winters FFA was well represented. Many of the Grand Champion or Reserve Champion animals belonged to Winters FFA members and of course, my nephew, Tyler was there with his Grand Champion turkey. Prices were sure down this year, I think the Grand Champion steer only got $2.75 a pound. Too bad for the kids who put so much time and effort into their projects but a really lesson that there is no guarantee of any profit when it comes to making a living in agriculture, or any small business for that matter. Kudos to all the kids and their families for being there and supporting them. There is a lot of hard work that goes on behind the scenes to make this a successful event.
