Events around Citrus Heights this week include Food Truck Mania, a city council meeting, and the annual Hot August Bites at Rusch Park — which organizers say will feature 300 classic cars in the Auto’s for Alzheimer’s classic car show.
August 11: Known as National Safe Digging Day, Citrus Heights council members passed a resolution in support of the day this year, highlighting the effort to raise awareness to possible dangers of digging and the free services available by calling 8-1-1.
Also on Tuesday: A free “How to develop an idea into a business” workshop is being offered by the local Citrus Heights chapter of SCORE. The workshop is designed to help share tips on evaluating an idea and successfully expanding it into an actual business, and will be held from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at 6501 Sylvan Rd., in the Small Business Administration building.
