Winters keeps moving on

The Winters Chamber of Commerce Year in Review dinner was a nice affair. It was my first visit to the new Fairfield by Marriott Hotel and their banquet room was nicely decorated, but not that big. My guess is that it seats less than 200. It made for a sold-out dinner, cooked by Anderson Family Catering, and everyone seemed to have a good time. I don’t want to second guess the Chamber, but small, expensive events, limit those who can attend. I noticed that there were a lot of people attending that I didn’t know, which is a good thing. New people are always welcome, especially in the business community. Introducing the honorees went smoothly and the M.C.

did a good job of getting everyone home by a decent hour. In my case, that means by 10 p.m. There have been years when the party ended closer to 11:30, which is way too long and past my bedtime. If you walk around town you will see a lot of new faces and not all of them are out-of-town visitors. I see new people walking their dogs in my neighborhood and even more neighbors out for an evening stroll. I wish I could stop and talk to each and every one of them, but barking dogs get on my nerves. Each new neighbor has a story about how they ended up in Winters and those who I talked to seem to be glad they moved here. I’ve mentioned before that I live here because I grew up here and it was an easy adjustment to move back home, but new residents chose to live here. That moves them to the top of the list of good citizens.

The number of new homes being built on the west side of town is impressive. I’m not sure of the total, but when finished, it will be somewhere around 650. We only had a total of 2,000 homes and apartments a few years ago. If you drive behind Lorenzo’s Market, you will see new streets, curbs and sidewalks, but no new homes. If they decide to build the 55 new homes in that subdivision, there will be even more people that we will need to welcome to Winters.

Youth Day, April 29, is fast approaching, and with it the annual Rotary Pancake (sausage) Breakfast. We usually serve around 600 people one of the best breakfasts around, no offense to the Café. It is a great time to see old friends and meet new people. With the fear of COVID in the rearview mirror, I’m hoping that we have a large crowd this

After you finish chowing down on my favorite sausage, it is an easy walk to watch the parade. Remember that the Kiddie Parade starts and 9:45 and ends at 9:47, with the main parade starting at 10. If you haven’t already, mark it on your calendar.

Have a good week.

Continued from Page 3 happy day when the owner mentioned how she had raised them from chicks and how fond she was of her small flock. I properly assumed that all of her chickens were named.

The Sheriff’s Department animal control officers inquired and recorded my version of the story.

Life is complicated. Based on Gramps’ experience, he would have had a good chicken dinner that evening — end of story. But then, he has never coddled a chicken since it was a hatchling, nor given it a name. But he gets it. How can you cook and serve Ethyl for dinner? The good news is that Ethyl was nursed back to health. The owners now give her the distinction of being “The Little Hen Who Could.”
