This year’s Scott Road Bike and Walk Event is scheduled for Sunday, May 4, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Cyclists and pedestrians can enjoy the scenic route in safety because portions of Scott, White Rock and Placerville roads will be closed to through motor vehicle traffic as Sacramento County, El Dorado County, and the cities of Folsom and Rancho Cordova support regional “2014 May is Bike Month.” A map and information about the event are available in the attached flyer.

Eleven-month-old Brigg Dennis enjoyed his first Easter at Stonehouse Park Saturday as hundreds gathered for the annual Kiwanis Club Picnic and Easter Egg Hunt. Brigg and his parents, Danica and Heath Dennis, moved to Rancho Murieta only two weeks ago, just in time to enjoy a community celebration designed to delight the youngest residents with cookie decorating, face-painting, crafts, a petting zoo, a visit with the Easter Bunny, a dance troupe, visits by the fire department and Sacramento sheriff’s canine unit, and the gathering of 7,000 brightly colored, candy- and prize-filled eggs. In addition to dozens of photos, linked above, we've got a video look at the day below.
