Meet White Rose Forge, the incredible father-daughter blacksmithing duo joining us for the Holly Days Craft & Vendor Fair! 🔥⚒️
What started over a decade ago in a small garage shop has grown into a true family partnership where tradition and creativity thrive. Head Blacksmith Charles brings over 40 years of mastery to the anvil—having apprenticed under two California master smiths and studied centuries-old forges around the world. Working right alongside him is his daughter and Journeyman, Somer, who has been honing her craft since she was 13 and brings nearly a decade of hands-on skill and fresh creativity to every piece.
Together, they blend traditional techniques with modern innovation to turn red-hot metal into timeless, hand-forged art and functional pieces.
Come see them in action tomorrow, Saturday, Nov. 14, from 11 AM – 4 PM in front of Skyline Designs on Merchant Street!

MERRIMENT ON MAIN, 1993
With the holidays upon us, let`s throw it back to 1993, when Downtown Vacaville was filled with twinkling lights, holiday cheer, and crowds of families and friends gathered for Merriment on Main!
Did you know? This beloved holiday tradition began in 1983 as a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Vacaville`s local newspaper, The Reporter. Publisher Richard Rico gifted the Three-Flag Monument at Main and Davis Streets to the community, creating a special place for the annual Christmas tree lighting.
What began over four decades ago has become one of Vacaville`s most cherished holiday traditions, bringing generations of families together to celebrate the magic of the season. ❤️
And now it`s almost time to make more memories!
🎄✨ Merriment on Main returns Tuesday, December 1, 2026!
Join us in Historic Downtown Vacaville as we welcome the holiday season and continue this wonderful community tradition!
❤️ Do you remember attending Merriment on Main in the early years? We`d love to hear your favorite memories and how your family has celebrated this special tradition over the years!

At the corner of West and Buck Streets stands a beautiful piece of Vacaville`s history, the Church of the Epiphany.
With roots dating back to 1896, this historic Episcopal congregation has been part of our community for 130 years.
The vintage photograph captures a scene from a bygone era, with cascading ivy blanketing the church`s exterior, towering trees shading its entrance, and lush gardens surrounding the property.
Today, the church`s distinctive white stucco exterior, arched windows, and tower offer a striking contrast to its earlier appearance.
Though the years have brought changes to this familiar corner, its rich history remains an important part of Vacaville`s heritage.
Do you remember the church covered in ivy, or have memories of this historic corner? We`d love to hear your stories!
