Good morning, Folsom.

Folsom will host the 2nd annual Sacramento County Sheriff’s Rodeo at the Dan Russell Rodeo Arena on Saturday, October 4.

The event will have bull riding, breakaway roping, barrel racing and mutton busting with a new Rodeo Queen Contest and no extra ticket fees—supporting local law enforcement programs.

Folsom History will host its annual charity golf tournament Monday, September 15 at Cold Springs Golf & Country Club — registration begins at 9 a.m. with a shotgun start at 10:30 a.m. and a $175 fee covering green fees, golf cart, lunch and contest entries — with proceeds supporting local exhibits and historic sites.

Sacramento County detectives are fighting nearly 50 active street gangs as deputies use social media to track illegal activities—last year, the unit removed 479 guns from the streets and made nearly 200 arrests.

Amanda Carrasco, a Folsom author and restorative justice advocate, will release her debut memoir Becoming the Brave One on August 26 through Blue Hat Publishing.

The book tells her journey from childhood abuse to healing and explains how small wins and community support helped her reclaim power+ encourage others.
