1. Five Vines is not shut down: Though it kind of looks like it. Suzy Fairchild and Randy Fisher have closed shop for a week while they take the family on a fabulous vacation to Italy. Hope they bring back some nice Pinot Grigio! The just-returned-from-Italy party will be Friday, Aug. 30.

2. Time to weigh in: The folks that put on the Swallows Day Parade and related events, the Fiesta Association, are kicking around ideas for a theme for the 2014 Fiesta de las Golondrinas. Which do you like?

• The Parade that won the west
• Horsing around
• Prairie days and prairie nights
