Celebrate Davis! ended with a five-minute fireworks show yesterday. Here's a sped-up version.
I shot this video on my GoPro camera while breaking down the Davis Patch booth at Celebrate Davis! yesteray. The event was great and the fireworks show was a nice way to end it. The music in the video is something I recorded a couple of years ago using a guitar and some GarageBand loops. It's a bit scattered and crazy. For more local videos:

My first day of work was at Celebrate Davis! last year. It was a doozy.
I spent my first day of work as Davis Patch's editor chatting with people at the Chamber of Commerce's Celebrate Davis! event. My colleagues had gotten us a booth with hopes of reaching out to the community prior to the our launch. A full year has since passed, with Celebrate Davis! 2012 happening today from 4-9 p.m. When I worked last year's event, I had just moved from San Francisco back to my parents’ house in Winters. My then-fiance was still in the city, finishing out her job. I came early to find us an apartment in Davis. I worked the booth with my boss and our salesperson. Thousands of people paraded by throughout the day, asking what “Davis Patch” was. The site wouldn’t launch for another month and a half and I hadn’t done a lick …
Vote in the poll and then come to Celebrate Davis! and dunk them in real life.
You’ll have a chance to dunk some of Davis’s most public figures into a pool of water today at Celebrate Davis! between 5-7 p.m. We’ve listed the Davis “celebrities” in the poll below. Which one would you most like to see dunked under water? The Dunkin' Davis booth will be located next to the Family Fun Zone (which will feature a bounce houses, pony rides, petting zoo, Rocknasium's climbing wall and Gizmo's Rolling Video Games). Here is how it will work: three chances from 30 feet for $5, three chances from 20 feet for $10, three chances from 10 feet for $20. For each turn of three chances, maximum one dunk. Alternatively, if the citizen has a bad throwing arm and money to burn, then they can run up and hit the dunk arm for $100. Full …

"Compilation of my group of friends' perspectives from this weekend at the WEF!"
This video was posted to Reddit with the following caption: Compilation of my group of friends' perspectives from this weekend at the WEF! Strange that it's my last one... It's a pretty cool view of a really great festival. Enjoy! (And feel free to upload your own video by clicking the link above!)
Dan Wolk's campaign video was filmed and edited by the same guy who edited the "Davis State of Mind" video.
Dan Wolk added some humor to the city council campaign this week when he released what his website says is the "first ever Davis city council campaign music video!" The video is a rendition of "The Davis Song," which was written by Heidi Bekebrede, with whom Wolk duets the song. It was filmed and edited by Daniel Watts -- the man who edited the Davis State of Mind video that went viral last year. A clip of the song plays during the credits at the end. What do you think of the video? Share below!
