Ice Skating @Skatetown 6/6, 6/7
During the hot months of summer, (or anytime Really!!) ice skating can be a fun family or single person activity. I bet most don’t even know that there is a great place to do it right here in our own backyard in Roseville. Skatetown offers Youth & Adult Beginner Hockey Classes, Beginner Skating Class & Learn to Curl Classes. And it’s not really all that expensive: General Admission is $15 and Skate Rental is only $4. (Cheaper than a trip to the movies!!!!)
Their Public Skating sessions are Friday & Saturday 3-5 & 7-9.
Address: 1009 Orlando Ave Roseville
Tantra Speed Date (Meet Singles Speed Dating) 6/7
If single and looking for a great place to meet the partner of your dreams, Tantra might be for you. They have videos of their events which I think is the best way to find out about what you can expect. Here’s a link to their website. They are doing this in 50+ cities and have been mentioned in lots of famous media like SF Chronicles, The Sunday Times, Cosmopolitan, etc. If you missed this weekend’s event, they’re going to be back in Sacramento on July 12th. (Or you can drive to Reno and attend their June 8th event.)
According to their website, their tickets range from $40 to $140

Sacramento Antique Faire 6/8
Their website describes the event as” The Sacramento Antique Faire is an Antiques & Collectibles Marketplace held the Second Sunday of every month.”
300 Vendors from throughout Northern California and beyond are on hand selling wonderful antique and vintage goods such as furniture, clothing, jewelry, military, garden items, farmhouse decor, architectural salvage, lighting, and so much more! It’s a huge treasure hunt… Come join the fun, you never know what you might find!
Attention: Their usual location is 21st & X Streets (Under the freeway) but according to their website, they are in the Sleep Train Arena Lots located at the corner of Sleep Train Arena East Entrance & Truxel Road. They are awaiting final confirmation from the city regarding moving back to their original location.

“Come for the food, stay for the music, dancing, and good vibes!” Kick’n Mule in West Sacramento this Sunday and every Sunday this summer is offering: Country style full brunch menu, from delicious waffles and bacon to fresh fruit & hearty biscuits. Then, there will be line dancing for “seasoned dancers or first-times”, featuring DJ Derik. “Thunder” is gona “Roll” this Sunday at Kick’n Mule.
General Admission is free, brunch not included.

Hike Horsetail Falls (Along Highway 50)
If you want to get out of the heat, do some easy hiking and you don’t want to drive too far, and enjoy some stunning view, Horsetail Falls checks all the boxes. It’s along highway 50, after Strawberry and before you get to Echo Summit. There is a parking lot. Last time I was there, parking was $5. Play it safe and have two $5’s available. There is bathrooms at the trailhead too. Hiking is easy but you will need hiking shoes, too steep and rocky for tennis shoes. We took our dogs off leash and they absolutely love it there. Just make sure you pick up after them. Expect a good 1:35 drive from Downtown Sacramento, so you don’t have to leave town super early. Bring food or be ready to eat at Lake Tahoe.
