WIN GREAT PRIZES! Monthly Trivia
This Month's Question

Vallejo's Loma Vista Farm is hosting their second Bluegrass Festival this month. In what year was the Loma Vista Farm established?

The correct answer will be rewarded with a PIER 39 Family Pack ($178.00 value). Email your answer here.

Congratulations to Stephanie Anderson of Neenah, Wisconsin whose name was drawn from those who correctly answered “Dario Franchitti” to last month’s question: Who won last year's Indy Car race at Infineon?
 
Did you know that the 70's R&B/Soul Band Con Funk Shun (performing at Cache Creek Casino on September 4) was formed by two Vallejo High School students, Michael Cooper and Louis McCall? 
   

Did you know that the Napa Valley Wine Train's history is almost as long as the state of California's. The rail line upon which the train travels was built in 1864 by San Francisco's first millionaire, Samuel Brannan, in order to take visitors to his spa resort of 'Calistoga'.
