Capitol Adventure is once again hosting its Turkey Trot Run to benefit Folsom’s food bank and the community is responding with an enthusiastic yes despite the economic news. This year’s runners will enjoy the trails throughout the Parkway and there will be “chip timing” to accurately gauge the winner and runner ups. This being the land of Intel I’m not surprised that the latest technology in race results would be readily available and I’ve read that it will produce immediate web-based race results.

Folsom is developing quite a reputation for outdoor activities due to the consistently great weather and numerous parks and trails. This past election voted in Ernie Sheldon who has been instrumental in the development of the parks and recreation dept. in Folsom and even has a park named after him! We look forward to more opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors through his leadership.

Another local charity “Coats for Kids” is collecting gently used and new coats to be distributed to children and I am proud to say that my REMAX Gold office is a drop off point for the Folsom community. This is a time sensitive donation and the cut off is NOV 15th. If you have any coats you would like to donate and cannot get to the office please give me a call and I will be happy to pick up any donations you have and place them in the barrels at my office or you can drop them at 2340 E. Bidwell St.
