Rocklin Crime Alert

Mailboxes Target Of Theft

I got an email from Michael Nottoli from the Rocklin Police Department regarding the recent rash of mailbox thefts all over the city of Rocklin.

Here’s the text of the message I received.

“Dear Community Members:

There have been at least 16 cases of cluster mailbox break-ins throughout Rocklin during the past few weeks.

Please be on the lookout for suspicious activity around these mailboxes and report activity to the RPD as soon as possible.

Thanks!  (Please see the attachment above for location details).

This looks like it’s been going on pretty much all year based on the Excel spreadsheet (see below).  Please report any issues you see around our cluster mailboxes to the Rocklin PD.

Johnson Springview Easter Egg Hunt In Rocklin

Annual Event Draws Rocklin Kids

My family goes to this event every year.  I think this might be the first time I’ve gone as his grandparents take him as part of their Easter ritual.  This year, they are in Guatemala so my wife and I took him.

It’s the sprint of Easter Egg hunts.  There isn’t any frivolity going on before the hunt you just show up and, well, hunt at high speed.

The Rocklin Fire Department ran the event and it started with a resounding siren from one of the ladder trucks, a kid favorite.

The weather had been ok most of the morning with a threat of rain but it had held off….until the siren blew!

The rain wasn’t really heavy just curious how it started as soon as the siren blew and the kids started looking for eggs.

Parking wasn’t much of a pain as I expected it to be.  A free city wide egg hunt?  I expected much more traffic than there was.

It’s fun to watch the kids make a mad dash for eggs.  They had some eggs with numbers on them and those qualified for prizes, something my son didn’t get.  He fell, spilled the eggs he had and someone else picked them up.  To say he was disappointed is an understatement.

We brought him home, had our own egg hunt then a nerf gun war.  I’m pretty strict about not allowing him to point anything that looks like a gun at anyone for any reason but, as my wife aptly pointed out, they are designed for this purpose.

I happily started the fun and he ended up having a great Easter Sunday.

I hope your Easter was as enjoyable.  The video below is a little long so if you just fast forward a minute or so, you’ll be able to see the mad dash as it happened.

Thanks for visiting!

Community Events This Weekend!

What’s Happening?!

Sacramento

‘Six Women with Brain Death’
August 14th to October 4th
Fri/Sat @ 8pm and Sun @ 2pm
Lambda Players Studio Theatre: 1028 R Street
SIX WOMEN is a fast-paced, take-no-prisoners satire of life and pop culture. It is a wild and very left-of-center view of the world from an entirely feminine standpoint. In a series of bizarre but hysterical songs and sketches, the authors explore TV soap operas, “genuine
press-on nails,” Barbie and Ken’s secret fantasy life, divas, what “is”
and “is not” feminine and other topics plus with an unforgettable
detour through a forest where Bambi meets Rambo. Its music is
infectious and the show is the longest running musical in
Sacramento theatre history. For show times & tickets:

Sacramento Buddhist Church Bazaar

Fantastic Downtown Event!

Yesterday, after I got back from viewing a couple of investment properties in south Sacramento, my wife suggested that we go to the Sacramento Buddhist Church Bazaar on Riverside in Sacramento.

Ryan was getting a bit restless and when my son gets restless, it’s best to get he and my wife out of the house!

I knew there would be awesome food, I was hungry and thought it would fun.

It turned out to be an awesome event!  My wife, son and I made the trip down from Rocklin and had a wonderful time.  There was a great selection of food, games and things to do all very reasonably priced.

While I don’t know exactly what it benefits, probably families and the church itself, it was well organized, parking was easy and packed!

My son had a great time playing the games and winning prizes.

This is a shot under the “tent”.  They have tables set up all over, games to my right from this picture and food everywhere.

There is a live band that performed later in the evening.  We didn’t stay for that as my son was getting near “done”.

The event continues today and it’s a great value.  This isn’t any admission and everything is very reasonably priced.  It was a great entertainment value for us.  I think my in-laws are taking my son back today!

The games were very reasonable. You pay $3 for 10 tickets and each game costs one ticket.

One of the games Ryan really liked was the fishing game.

He had a line with an alligator clip attached to it.  You through it over this wall and someone on the other side attaches a little bag of goodies to it.  As you can see, happiness at very small price!

It’s running today as well.  If you get time, run by.  We had a great time and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as well.
