Greetings!
My friends will attest to this: I
really dislike shopping. Haven’t been in a mall in years. Don’t have a Costco membership. My husband does the grocery shopping. So what is it about Yard Sale Weekend in American Canyon that turns me into a fanatic? The good deals? The sheer number of sellers (more than a hundred!)? No. It’s my mother. She and my aunt are coming to town for this year’s big Yard Sale Weekend and, together, we will be hunting for deals all over town. You’ll recognize us as the three women with the tall guy following us around carrying all our treasures. The yard sale maps will be available
on-line soon, see below for more information. We are plotting our itinerary now. Hope to see you out there next weekend!

Wall of Honor & Tree of Life
The City of American Canyon honors our active military personnel with a Wall of Honor. The Wall of Honor is located adjacent to the City Council Chambers at City Hall and displays pictures and information about American Canyon residents, their family or loved ones currently serving in the Armed Forces.
The American Canyon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 11099 developed the Tree of Life to remember the lives of American Canyon's deceased veterans. The name, service branch, and dates of service are imprinted on brass leaves and affixed to the "Tree of Life" on the wall outside of the City Council Chambers at City Hall.
If you have questions or would like more information about the Wall of Honor or the Tree of Life, contact Suellen Johnston at (707) 647-5337 or by
email.
