Rooster Call 7/20: Message in a Bottle, Knitting Circle, Capital Tennis

Get ready for Wednesday now with a look at some of the goings on around town.

Today there's tennis in the Sunrise Mall parking lot and fun for all ages at Fair Oaks Library.

Here we go.

Message in a Bottle

Hey kids, ever wonder what it might be like to be Robinson Crusoe or Tom Hanks, stranded on a remote island? Barring the presence of a volleyball with a handprint to talk to why not learn to talk to someone a little more ... anthropomorphic while on that island. Design a modern-day “message in a bottle” postcard and learn a few tips about writing. These postcards will be stamped and addressed back to the Fair Oaks Library for display. Stop by around 3:30 p.m. to get started.

Crochet and Knitting Circle

Speaking of Fair Oaks Library, the good folks over there are hosting a crochet and knitting circle for those interested in such things. Bring the current project or start something new. Start a conversation, enjoy some companionship and create. You're on the hook (get it?) for you own supplies, but if you're looking for inspiration library members can help. For more information, call 916-264-2920.

Sacramento Capitals World Team Tennis

Come out to Sunrise Mall for some world-class team tennis when the Sacramento Capitals take on the Boston Lobsters. The event is open to all. Matches start at 7:30 p.m. For complete event and match details, go to the Sacramento Capitals Ticket Office inside Sunrise Mall, consult the website or call 916-488-5000.
