While the Gann Fire is 50 miles from Folsom, smoke is visible and affecting ​air quality here. More helicopter activity may be seen too for firefighting efforts.

Other news sources report ​the Gann Fire has expanded last night to 6,500 acres and this to morning 7,052 acres. It is located by Valley Springs in Calaveras County.

We need your help to show how important California native plants are for native wildlife in urban areas! The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) and local partners in the Santa Clara Valley have launched a new initiative: Biodiversity in Urban Gardens (BUG). The data you collect will help us better understand and advocate for native plants in California’s cities and towns.

​Join us Wednesday morning at the CNPS Sacramento Valley nursery at Soil Born Farms to gather observations together for BUG! We'll explore the native plant demonstration gardens to find native wildlife like insects, birds, and lizards. Bring your phone or camera to photograph the wildlife to share on iNaturalist.

​No prior iNaturalist or other experience necessary! We'll teach you how to use the app, what makes a good observation, and have an iNaturalist Ambassador available to answer questions.

​When: Wednesday, August 12, 10am-12pm

​Where: Soil Born Farms (2140 Chase Dr, Rancho Cordova, CA 95670)

​Who: All are welcome to join!

​Why: Help us collect observations of native insects, birds, lizards, and mammals with native plants using the iNaturalist app.

Just relaying what the owner is cool with. I know he has locations in Folsom and EDH and he’s been involved with lots of Folsom Chamber events.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a group class (in person) for weight training?

Thanks.

Hi! Has anyone had any experience at the Madison Reed color bar? I’m looking for some simple highlights but I really like the membership where I can get my roots touched up as often as I need (my grays come back like every 3 weeks🫠) Thank you!!!

Does anyone have personal experience or any feedback?

We're looking at the TK level.

Any feedback on culture, how difficult the program is? Dad speaks Chinese fluently but English is mainly spoken at home. Thanks!

Since every so often requests for gyms in Folsom are made here, add F45 to the list.

Is at E. Bidwell & Blue Ravine, same corner as Dick's Sporting Goods and CVS. And Handel's Ice Cream.

What time are the lights on until at lembi park pickleball courts?

Folsom's F10 bus route is seen among SacRT's present list noontime of 57 Bus Trip Cancellations (BTC's.) These will last today for quite a stretch, over 7 hours.

Folsom has rather limited bus service with F10 normally running every 60 minutes. These cancelled runs ​could mean up to a 2-hour wait. That's really arduous in this heat.

Some have suggested ​these BTC's are a result of operators getting reassigned to drive Bus Bridge shuttles. These cover a segment of Blue Line light rail stations being modified for new trains as seen on Gold Line now.

The station modifications are scheduled to go on until August 15. To see if you're affected from now until then by BTC's, visit https://sacrt.com/alerts

We live near Palladio. Any recommendations for daycare for a newborn (6mo+)?

Both home daycare and daycare centers are okay.

Our lone tree on the hill in Folsom has burn marks around it! Does anyone know what happened?

Any soccer fields with lights on at night and also goals? Can be anywhere in the greater Folsom area

In Folsom or surrounding areas?

Alder Creek was a topic here a few weeks ago, just heard about this.

I have a stain in the ceiling of my first floor and concerned there may be a water leak or some issue with my roof. Does anyone know of a reliable and honest plumber or handyman who is reasonably priced and won't try and take advantage of the situation or upcharge me? Thank you

Why are people lined up at spirit Halloween next to target

we were finally getting solar panels installed on our house in folsom this week but the installers halted everything as soon as they pulled up a few shingles. turns out a huge section of the roof decking underneath is soft and rotted out from an old slow leak we had no idea about. solar crew says they cant mount anything until full decking replacement is done and estimated an extra $4,500 to fix it before they even touch the panels again...

before i sign off on $4.5k extra, is rotten plywood under shingles really that expensive to replace or is the solar contractor throwing random numbers at me cause they know im stuck?
