As our country pauses on Monday to take the time to honor the soldiers who lost their lives in battle, we also have the opportunity to enjoy and celebrate the freedoms that were gained in those battles. From runs to food and drink events, there are plenty of ways to celebrate in the Santa Rosa area this weekend.
