🇺🇸 THANK YOU for an incredible Vet Fest 141 Family Night!
To everyone who came out and helped make this night possible, thank you.

So many people came together to make this night possible, and trying to name everyone would almost certainly mean unintentionally leaving someone out. Please know how sincerely grateful we are to everyone who gave their time, talent, support, and generosity to make Vet Fest 141 Family Night so special.

Most importantly, thank you to our Veterans, Active Duty Military, and First Responders for your service and sacrifice. You are the reason behind what we do.

We hope this video captures just a little of what made the night so memorable.

From all of us at Vet Fest 141, thank you for being part of it. 🇺🇸

🚦 New Temporary Traffic Signal Now Active at Wolfs Crossing & Fifth Street

A new temporary traffic signal is now in operation at the intersection of Wolfs Crossing and Fifth Street.

The temporary signals were installed by the Sonoma Trails developer in accordance with the annexation agreement, which requires a traffic signal once the south leg of the intersection opens.

The signals are now in place ahead of the school year to give residents, parents and school bus drivers time to become familiar with the updated traffic pattern before classes begin.

These temporary signals will remain in place until the long-term traffic signals can be installed on span wires.

Please use caution when traveling through the intersection and watch for the new traffic pattern.
