Historical Marker Dedication Ceromony at the Fausel House in Placerville


You are invited to join the El Dorado Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution as they celebrate the placement of a historic marker on the Fausel House on June 14, 2012.

The Fausel House was established in 1861. German Pioneer Frederick Geibenhain built this house.  His Geibenhain and Sons Brewery was located west of here. In 1902, his daughter Mary married Emil Fausel. The Fausel family ran the brewery until prohibition shut down operations in 1920. However, they continued to own and occupy the house.  Members of the Fausel family still live in Placerville and own the Placerville Hardware store, the oldest hardware store west of the Mississippi.


Activities:
  • Tour the historic building
  • Learn about one of Placerville’s oldest families

21st Annual Folsom Handcar Derby

The 21st running of the Folsom Handcar Derby is set to take place May 19th & 20th on the tracks in front of Broadstone Marketplace on East Bidwell Street in Folsom, CA.

This year’s event will kick off on Saturday, May 19th, with a day of practice and qualifying from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for all the teams competing in the handcar and quadripede events.

Saturday has also been designated as a media day for local publications and television stations to come out to learn more about the event as well as trying it first hand.

On Sunday, the day starts at 9:00 a.m. with the pushers' contest where anyone wanting to try and push the 850 lb handcar for distance is welcome to compete.

Competition picks up immediately after with the handcar races as each team of 5 has one shot to be the best in their division to set the fastest time.  A handcar team consists of one pusher to get the handcar started from a dead stop and four pumpers to propel it down the tracks.

Multiple divisions including men, women, co-ed and masters will face off and pump the handcar down the 800 foot track with times separated by 1/100th of a second.  The final event is two contestants piloting the worlds only racing quadripede down the course.  This is only the second year for this event, with its debut last year being a huge success for participants and fans alike.  The day ends with the medal awards ceremony for all of the competing divisions.

Throughout the day there is fun for all that come to watch or race.  Admission is free.  A drawing for great prizes will be held throughout the day.  Train rides are available adjacent to the race course. The location is in the heart of the Folsom shopping and food centers.  All proceeds from the event benefit the Folsom, El Dorado, Sacramento Historical Railroad Association.  For more information visit fedshra.org/handcar.html or call (916) 985-6001.
