Thanksgiving might be my favorite holiday. I love to bake, and the fall season opens up all sort of great opportunities for pumpkin bread, pecan pie, molasses cookies any number of apple delights. That scent of baking bread in the kitchen - I can't wait! I hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving and take time to pause and consider all the blessings we have here in American Canyon. In order to allow our employees to enjoy the holiday, and because we will be closed for a couple furlough days, City Hall and other city facilities will be closed all week next week. We will reopen for business Monday, December 2nd.
