Commnunity Events Cancelled Due To Extreme Heat

The heat is on!

Due to the extreme temperatures some community events have been cancelled.

Downtown Tuesday Nights in Roseville has been cancelled tonight, Tuesday, July 2nd. The forecast shows 111 degrees at 5 p.m., and when they open it will probably feel like 117 on the asphalt!

It's almost unbelievable that they cancelled last week for rain and this week for heat!!!

For the welfare of the public and the livestock due to forecasted heat for Wednesday, the Folsom Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the City of Folsom has decided to cancel the Folsom Cattle Drive.

"We feel the safety of the public and cattle drive participants is vital so we are addressing this issue proactively," said Folsom Pro Rodeo Chairman Dan Haverty.

The Folsom Pro Rodeo will proceed as planned from July 4-6; however, they will have cooling measures including shade, misters and complimentary water on the fourth.

Remember to keep hydrated and stay cool!
