Full Update (pdf)
Good afternoon, all. PG&E has announced a potential power safety shut off event for Wednesday / Thursday of this week. Temperatures will be warm (although not excessively so); however, the winds will be high. The city of Winters is not in the potential PSPS zone, which is limited to rural passes and now a portion of Capay Valley.
The high winds, however, could trigger limb drops onto power lines, and the new line sensors could automatically shut down power, which is a fire prevention measure.
This is also a good time with high winds forecasted to batten down the hatches and secure light weight items. Please makes sure fence gates are secured to avoid dogs running loose.
As a reminder, to sign up for PG&E alerts, please visit www.pge.com or click here.
Best, Kathleen

Our apologies for the late notice; however, Vintage Paving has a break in their schedule so they can squeeze in some additional paving in the downtown area on Monday and Tuesday.
Monday they will pave Main Street from Railroad to First and the alley between Main and Russell st from Railroad to First. Tuesday they will pave East Baker from Railroad to East St. The rest of the remaining streets will be paved as schedule allows.
Thank you, Kathleen
Greetings, all. Tonight is Fourth Friday downtown. Don’t forget the Farmers Market on Sunday. Each week there are new additions and activities.
Best,
Kathleen

Greetings, all. Please see the attached Friday Update for information regarding the annual Fireworks Show. For those who have donated to help support this community event, thank you very much!
We’re looking for volunteers to help staff the paid parking lots on Railroad (school district ones and the dirt Mariani lots). If you’d like to volunteer, please contact albert.vallecillo@cityofwinters.org.
A big thank you to the volunteer firefighters and WFD association for funding DJ Barnett at the football field during the event. They’ll play all kinds of music and will take requests to keep the family fun hopping and bopping for everyone.
A big thank you to Mariani Nut and the WJUSD for allowing us to charge for parking at the School District lots and the dirt lots on Railroad next to Mariani Nut.
Please, everyone, respect private property and pack out your trash if the receptacles are overflowing. Please do not shoot off any fireworks from someone else’s property (i.e. the parking lots) And remember that the use of illegal fireworks could result in a $1,000 fine.
Hope it’s a great weekend for everyone.
Best, Kathleen

Three Oaks Park is opening! The fence will come down Wednesday and Thursday of this week. We will cut the ribbon this Saturday, April 8 at 9:30 a.m. on the sidewalk in front of main park sign on Taylor Street.
The WJUSD high school students have coordinated an Easter Egg Hunt in the south lot (where the play equipment and shelter are) for two age groups: toddler to 5 in one section and 6 – 10 in another section at 10 a.m. Please join me in thanking the ASB for helping us inaugurate the park. Fingers crossed the weather holds.
Best, Kathleen
