The holiday spirit was alive and well once again as the rain stopped just in time for the annual open house event at Sonoma State Historic Park on December 14, 2024. This year’s celebration featured the Blue Wing Inn festively decorated for holiday revelry, including photos with Santa, clove orange making for the kids, and Alex’s XXX Moonshine for the rest of us. There were still refreshments, more crafts tables, and a campfire with Dave at the Barracks, the Pickle Creek String Band entertaining at the Toscano Hotel, and traditional holiday carols in the Mission. It was indeed another warm and welcoming celebration for hundreds of visitors to the Plaza.
