Garage Sales OK? - Last Saturday, the Neighborhood Christian School Used Book Sale, to be held at Dixon Community Church at 955 East A Street, was cancelled due to organizers not being able to get a permit from the Dixon Police Department so this newspaper checked on that issue with Acting Chief of Police Tom Cordova.

Normally, Garage and Yard Sales do require a permit issued through the Dixon Police Department and costs $7.50 but due to Solano County being in the most restrictive tier--purple--no permits were being issued. Although we are not currently under a 'Stay at Home' Order, the purple tier is the most restrictive 'tier' under the State's 'Blueprint for a Safer Economy.'

"I feel very awkward about this when retail is open," said Cordova. "We're stuck between a rock and a hard place, but my intentions are to resume yard sale permits when we enter the red tier." That could happen this week (or not.)

Good Scoop Anniversary - It's hard to believe the wonderful little ice cream shop in the Safeway Plaza has survived the COVID-19 Pandemic restrictions so it is important for all of us to celebrate with them for their 2nd Anniversary.

"To show our appreciation and celebrate our two years in Dixon, during the month of March we are offering our customers $2 single scoops. You can also buy two pints and get a single scoop free," they wrote on a social media page. "We appreciate your business and hope to see you at The Good Scoop."

They are at 1160 Pitt School Road near Solano Baking Company and hours are simple: 4 to 8 pm Tuesday through Sunday. Closed Mondays.

Scrapbook Time - March is National Craft Month so this month, owners of 'It's All About the Scrapbook' are celebrating Tuesday thru Saturday with the class/crop room back open for free from 10 am to 6 pm this month only on select days. Come complete those past class kits or unfinished projects at your own 6-foot table, spatially distanced, of course.

Please make a reservation through their calendar to ensure that you have a spot for the day. Go to: itsallaboutthescrabook.com or call (707) 676-5252. The business is located at 1670 North Lincoln Street in Dixon.
