Rooster Call 8/3: Magic, Maps, Altered Perspectives

The lazy days of summer are slowly winding down as we enter August. Kids are beginning to let the idea of the first day of school creep back into their mind. 

But summer isn't over yet - not quite, anyway.

Today temperatures are expected to reach 92 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. All things considered, it should be a fine day in Fair Oaks.

Let's take a look at some ways to pass the time around town.

Altered Perspective

The New Artworks Gallery presents the work of Mary Louise Mock
with Merriel Taylor, titled "Altered Perspective." According to the artists, the works include the serenity of landscapes, and the bright, bold abstract providing an amazing show, full of "altered perspectives." The gallery premieres today and goes till the beginning of September. Souvenirs and prints will be available for purchase inside the gallery giftshop. The gallery is open to all. For more information, call 916-962-7362 or visit the gallery website.
