Around the Town

If you know me, you know I love staying active and taking my kids out to different, fun events.  One thing I noticed as I was trying to find things to do, is that there isn't really a great, central location that posts all of the great family-friendly events and activities my region has to offer.  

So, if you are not from the Roseville-Rocklin-Lincoln-Auburn area, I am sorry you won't find this section very appealing.  If you are from my area, my hope is that you and your family find this page useful in planning family fun time.
