Dixon's Grillin'and Chillin' Donates to Wreath Project

Members of the committee for Dixon attended the 2nd Annual "Country in the Hills" fundraiser, which is an event put on to generate awareness and funds for the wreath-laying event to be held on Dec. 10, 2011, at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Dixon.

Mike Hamilton and Rich and Janette Barrango presented a check in the amount of $1,175 to Curtis Stocking made out to Remember A Vet, the nonprofit charity sponsoring the fundraising event.

This contribution was made possible due to the many people who attended Dixon Grillin' and Chillin' this year and bought raffle prizes at the car show.  All proceeds from the raffle were given to the wreath-laying project. So we thank all of you who showed up to support the event, and hope to see you next year for the 3rd Annual Dixon Chillin' and Grillin' to be held July 21, 2012.

The Wreath Project will take place on Saturday, Dec. 10, at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery. Volunteers will begin placing the wreaths on the graves of fallen heroes at 9 a.m.
