Art is all Around!

“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.“ ~ Thomas Merton

And in this unique season which combines family, friends, spirituality, generosity, community, and hectic chaos all at one time, isn’t it nice that we have time and space available to “find and lose ourselves” as well as be able to share this Spirit with others? I consider these oases (plural for oasis... had to Google that) gifts themselves. Here are some “safe havens” that you should know about:

• the Holiday Pop-Up Art Gallery at the Capital Village shopping center in Rancho Cordova featuring local artists through Dec. 13
• a Pop Up Art Sale at the Sacramento Fine Arts Center in Carmichael December 12 from 5:30 - 8:30 pm and then continues through December 18
• a FREE Holiday Concert by the Rancho Cordova Civic Light Orchestra on Friday, December 18 at the River City Christian Church (formerly named First Covenant Church) starting at 7:30 pm
• the Annual SFAC Holiday Arts and Crafts Show on Saturday, December 19 & Sunday, December 20 from 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
• the FALL SHOW art exhibit on display at Rancho Cordova City Hall through Jan. 17, 2016. It will be followed by “IMAGINE” opening on Jan. 28, 2016

And GOOD NEWS! We have pretty good intel that there is more ART to come in 2016. Visit BobsPocket.com for details on the above and what lies ahead!!

That OMG Moment!

We’ve all had them (that Oh-My-Gosh moment)... That split second when something hits you like a freight train (and hopefully in a good way). Like that moment in “The Sixth Sense”, that  “aha/light bulb” epiphany regarding a project or a problem.

It can be a sports moment, a life moment, a chocolate moment...
If you haven’t had the latter yet, I suggest you visit CapitalConfections.com... (tell them Bob sent you!)

And if you have been watching Rancho Cordova over the years, the transformation and growth of that new city has been astonishing and adds up to a big OMG! From cityhood in 2003, recognition as an All America City in 2010, the continual stream of events including
the inaugural installations in the Rancho Cordova Sports Hall of Fame just last month and the upcoming Christmas Tree Lighting on Nov. 29, Rancho Cordova continues to amaze and take a “Fresh Take” that gets double-takes. To learn all that has happened this past year as well as things to come, be sure to check out the “State of the City” Event on Nov. 12 at Rancho Cordova City Hall. Admission is FREE and you’ll also get “your piece of the pie”!

Hall of Fame (& Hall of Horrors!)

The Rancho Cordova Athletic Association will inaugurate a new sports tradition with the first ever inductions into the Rancho Cordova Sports Hall of Fame on Saturday, Oct. 17 at Rancho Cordova City Hall. This is expected to be a sell-out event so get your tickets now!
