Dixon Weekend Planner July 29-31

Saturday:

You are invited to Blues for Bones II, put on by the Solano Blues Community to raise much needed funds for the SPCA of Solano County.  Help us support this worthwhile and often neglected non-profit organization that does such a great job of helping local animals in need.  This year's event promises to be the best blues event Vacaville has ever seen with the world famous blues artists John Lee Hooker Jr. along with Rick Estrin & The Nightcats as well as local favorites The Used Blues Band and many special guests performing as the Solano Blues Community Allstars.  The venue is donated by Wild Vines Bucktown Ranch and is a beautiful park setting with trees & lawn seating so bring your lawn chairs, blankets, hats & sunscreen (no umbrellas allowed).  Along with the music there will be great BB-Q, salads, cold beer, wine & non alcoholic beverages for purchase as well as raffle ticket sales and a chance to win a guitar signed by all the artists with every ticket purchase. Please no animal companions at this event - but you can take them a doggy bag and let them know you helped other animals by attending!
