Independence Day In America

.

.

On July 4th, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence as a declaration of the colonies’ separation from Great Britain. We honor the Fourth of July as Independence Day for the United States of America. The American War for Independence was waged by determined people who sought to ensure our freedoms today. Founding Fathers that supported revolution were the robust group responsible for defending against the greatest army of the time to provide us the opportunities we have today. Remembering how the United States of America began as a Republic is important for us as we endeavor to create a better future for our children. The lessons we learn from our national history provide greater understanding of where we came from, so we can better decide the future of our Republic. As we celebrate Independence Day, let us also remember how we first began by announcing to the world that we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable Rights and how people defended those same Rights against all odds, for us.

Fair Week To Remember

-

.

On June 12th, 2025, Supervisor Turnboo and County Fair staff cut the ribbon to begin the 2025 El Dorado County Fair. Gordon Vicini brought out his old fire truck with a working calliope for dignitaries to ride around on to start the festivities. The fair was a great event for local residents to come out and witness the offerings from across our region. The children and young at heart enjoyed rides and many other age appropriate activities. Special thanks to the El Dorado County Fair and Event Center Board of Directors for hosting the annual fair event. The "Moovin' n' Groovin'" themed fair was a treat for locals and we look forward to next year.
