Happy Veterans Day

The annual Veteran’s Day Parade in Folsom has become somewhat of a tradition for many every year – not only does it honor those who served in the armed forces, it also is a quaint reminder of Folsom’s small-town roots. Who doesn’t like a parade? Thousands lined up to see vets, scouts, and teams line the street. This year was no different. Our netizens with their feet on the street snapped some pics.

Sutter Street Gold

A pot of gold may not be under this rainbow, but Folsom’s greatest treasure, Sutter Street, is. Thanks to Jenny Whistler of Lockdown Brewing Company for this great shot!

Folsom Live 2011

Folsom Live 2011 went very well this year. Lots of of great bands on all the stages and having it over two days seems to have worked out very well.  Here are a few photos of the bands that played. Check out the forums for more photos and videos covering both days of the event.

9/11 Remembered

The Folsom Fire and Police Department held a 9/11 ceremony this morning at Fire Station #35. A flag was also draped over Lake Natoma in remembrance.

Prairie City Fire

If you were anywhere near Hwy 50 and Prairie City this evening, then you might have seen this grass fire.  Looks like it may have been started by someone being careless with a cigarette.  The fire grew rapidly, but fortunately our brave firefighters were all over it!

Your Amgen Photos!

The Amgen Tour of California brought out thousands of Folsom residents, and many MyFolsomites brought cameras! Check out the great photos from the day.

Clarksville Day

What is now El Dorado Hills near highway 50 was once known as Clarksville back in the mid 1800′s.  An artifact of the gold rush, and a former Pony Express stop, little exists

of this town that once had a sizable population.  Clarksville Day is a once a year event which provides a glimpse of local history.

Turkey Time

Folsom resident Joan Hallstein snapped this shot of a turkey cruising around her driveway the other morning.

Second Saturday

Craig Learoyd checked out Folsom’s second Saturday on a gorgeous Saturday evening in April. Take a look and see how Sutter Street is coming along!

New Look For Sutter Street

Sutter Street is wearing a new look these days since the median was removed. It’s definitely more open now, and plans are underway for further refinements including new larger sidewalks.
