2nd Annual "Night of 1,000 Pumpkins" along the Street of Old Folsom in Folsom, California. The first night(29Oct10), many pumpkins set along the street and stores, with movies for the kids on the big screen and treats. On the next day(30 Oct 10), all the stores open up for "Trick or Treaters" handing out candy. It was showering on this day which might be the reason not as many people were there early but everyone was having a swell time.

Tree Planting October 24, 2010
Folsom Park and Recreation put together an event for "Make a Difference Day" to plant trees along the East Bidwell Street.
Volunteers gathered at the Home Depot on Bidwell Street, were we signed in, got a bright yellow t-shirt and headed to the spots where the planting was occuring.
The function was a bit disorganized at first, with most of the trees and some equipment arriving late and no leads at the work sites.
Reading the written instructions on how to plant the trees, we then began to plant the many trees. Didn't get to finish but it was lots of fun working with the folks I met.

Lions Club "White Cane Day"; 02 Oct 10
The Folsom Host Lions Clubs held their annual fund raising event called "White Cane Day". This event raises money for children of Folsom who need medical work on their eyes but can't afford it. All the money raised stays in the Folsom. They set up a table in front of the Folsom Raley's supermarket and ask for donation. This was my first full charity event with the Lions Club and had a wonderful time. Especially talking with the long standing members on growth of the city of Folsom. Looking forward to more.
Also just near by was a set of vintage cars getting ready for a show. Nice stuff.
