Fourth of July – Placer County Town

Fourth of July- Roseville CA Style

Roseville is a great little city.  With a population of just over 100,000, you feel like you know everyone in town. Same familiar faces seen at the grocery stores, Targets, and Wal-Marts in each neighborhood and some super specialty stores that are only in the local area.

Fourth of July in a town like this is special too.  Starting with a fun run 10K through Miner's Ravine (start time     at the Sculpture Garden), concert in Royer Park from 11:00-       and ending the day with a great fireworks display to be viewed from the Placer County Fairgrounds...

Don't forget to bring your picnics, chairs and blankets (sparklers for the kids, too).

See you there!!!!

Here are the details:

City of Roseville's Fourth of July festivities are from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, July 4, at Royer Park, 190 Park Drive in Roseville. Bring lawn chairs or blankets and listen to the patriotic sounds of Capitol Pops concert beginning at noon. There will be food vendors, bounce houses and children's games. And it's free.

The main event — a nighttime fireworks show — starts at 9:30 p.m. Sunday, July 4. The city has partnered with Sierra View Country Club to light up the night sky. Public viewing to watch the fireworks is from the grandstands at the Placer County Fairgrounds, 800 All America City Blvd. in Roseville. Gates open at 7 p.m.

ARE YOU "UP IN THE AIR"

"Anybody who ever built an empire, or changed the world, sat where you are now. And it's because they sat there that they were able to do it." - Ryan Bingham (George Clooney in "Up In The Air")

Last night we watched the movie "Up In The Air" starring George Clooney.  Now, this is not a movie review, although I will say I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the movie, story and acting.  Actually, there was one sentence that was repeated many times in the movie that has particular relevance to today's real estate market.

George Clooney makes the statement quoted above to almost every person he fires.  It got me thinking. What challenges do we face right now that will provide a benefit to us in the future?

• Foreclosures and short sales allow those ready to purchase a home greater ability to find one that is affordable and in the areas they want to live.
  
• Neighborhoods once in decline are now being spruced up by first time buyers and investors willing to take over distressed homes and breathe new life in them.
  
• Those who have lost jobs are able to review their dreams, use their imaginations and have a fresh start doing something they love.
  
• Those of us who are professionals in real estate are able to reconnect with clients on more personal level, helping them find solutions, meeting their needs, and creating a solid working relationship with all of our partners.

Challenges are not always obstacles, think of all those people who created/invented something new because of a challenge.  Then go out and conquer the world....
