We are thrilled about Dixon being featured in The Farmer's Game and are especially proud of the hard work of our archivist, Shirley Parsons- whose knowledge of the history of the Dixon community is unparalleled.
Just a small correction though- Ms. Parsons worked with the author of the book and accessed our archives on behalf of the Dixon Public Library and that is where the book will be available for check-out. For more information on this title, please call us at 707-678-5447 or visit our Facebook Page. Thanks! Vanessa Christman Director, Dixon Public Library

Great to see the 4th graders getting ready for their 5th grade camp at Alliance Redwoods. I took myRead More 6th graders there for many years and Alliance has an outstanding program that keeps the kids focused on environmental education and stewardship. The night hike through the redwoods was always their favorite (along with the zip line). Note: No need to bring snacks as the dining hall meals has everything you will need, but you may want to bring some extra money for the gift shop. Dan Mattingly/Retired Teacher

Thanks for the post Dean. The Dixon VFW has contributed several thousand dollars so far to bothRead More homes in Dixon and will be contributing a lot more in the future for these Vets. The housing program is managed by the North Bay Coummity Action Council (formerly known as the Fairfield/Suisun CAC). The Vets are very grateful for all the community support.
