"Elaine Bell Catering, a Wine Country catering mainstay since 1981, is closing at the end of October and laying off 164 workers. Founder Elaine Bell said that after 43 years in business, it was time to retire. The pandemic had brought a scale-back in business and presented a natural time for her to depart. At its peak, the company pulled off about 900 events a year." - Justine Jones
