Nobody, absolutely nobody was happy with the news delivered late Saturday evening, regarding the 2nd wave of shutdowns for Placer County.  To say it’s “disheartening” is an understatement and doesn’t even begin to truly describe the utter turmoil that small business owners are going through right now.  Walking through the streets of OLD TOWN AUBURN, spirits remain optimistic, but you can see the toll this is taking on so many.  All we can do is continue to support our local shops, restaurants, service centers, or whatever/wherever else you can keep your dollars supporting those in your city/county.  From all of us within the Carpe Vino Family and speaking on behalf of the many businesses in our community, WE APPRECIATE YOU & WE THANK YOU!
