I joined Valley Ford's fire board last year and recently started training as a volunteer firefighter. I realize it's probably a bit late to start this process, but it's a small sacrifice and good for the community. But I won't be donning the standard issue firefighter mustache.
Part of the Board's function is fundraising and we're doing a gourmet pancake breakfast on June 5 (including buttermilk pancakes made by scratch). Come on out to Valley Ford for a great meal with lots of local ingredients and help support the local fire department. We've had lots of local business support so far, including Koslowski Blackberry syrup, Farmer's Coffee, Sweetwater Distillery gin/vodka, Clover butter and dairy items, Willi Bird Sausage, VFMarket Ham and more.
And if you happen to be in town next weekend, the town of Bodega kicks off pancake season at their station on Sunday, May 16.

California Department of Fish & Game released three million three-inch salmon smolts into the American River with the goal of helping to replenish the low levels of salmon we've had over the past several years. The causes are many and the solutions are few and there's certainly no guarantee that this will have a significant impact, but it's good to see some potential help coming for the local fishermen.
