The Rooster Call: Writers Open Mic, Last Day of School, More

Welcome to Friday, Fair Oaks. Take it in. According to the National Weather Service, it should be nothing but clear skies and mild-to-warm weather throughout the day and into the weekend. For those looking to get a head start on the weekend fun, take a look at what's happening right here in town.

California Writers Club Open Mic

Like the club's website says, whether you live to write or write to live, this may be the club for you. The Sacramento branch of the California Writers Club meets today at the Birdcage Shopping Center Barnes & Noble. Come and read your written work. Sign-up begins at 6:45 p.m. Audience members are welcome.

Schools Out for Summer

No more teachers, no more books, no more ... OK, you get it. Yes, indeed, Fair Oaks, classes officially end for high schools Bella Vista and Del Campo. And since said classes traditionally let out early, you can count on a teen-aged surge of activity to take to the streets, parks, riverways and whatever location that is not inside a classroom. 

Karaoke Night

Speaking of out of control, remember that time you got up on stage after your friends dared you to and sang "Don't Stop Believing" for the 5,000th time? Yeah, we didn't think so. But, hey, let's do the time warp again! It's Friday, after all, and what says Friday night fun quite like karaoke? Grab the friends and a couple glasses of liquid courage and set the stage on fire (not literally) with a few choice lyrics at the . Those noises start to emenate from the club right around 9 p.m. and go till about closing. There's no cover charge either, so you don't have any excuse.
