Hot Chili & Cool Cars Festival drives into downtown

The Gist: The Chamber of Commerce is kicking off its 33rd annual Hot Chili & Cool Cars festival tomorrow, September 18, starting with a classic car cruise through local neighborhoods. On September 19, the main event takes over nearly 17 acres along Rocklin Road and Quarry Park with roughly 200 classic cars, a chili cook-off, and local vendors.

Why It Matters: Drawing around 15,000 visitors, this tradition relies on more than 150 local volunteers to bring our community together. It also ties into Placer County's 175th anniversary, giving neighbors a special chance to contribute local keepsakes to a time capsule set in historic granite grounds.

New spots coming to Whitney Ranch

The Gist: Rocklin's Whitney Ranch shopping center is expanding its mix of retailers and restaurants. Jetset Pilates and Acai Fresh are both joining the lineup, bringing more fitness and food options to the center.

Why It Matters: It gives nearby residents convenient new choices for a workout and a healthy bite right in the neighborhood.
