FOLL Attends Children’s Day at the Fowler Ranch Farmer’s Market

At the Fowler Ranch Farmer’s Market on August 28th, we were able to make contact with so many people from Lincoln, Rocklin and Roseville – it was an amazing turnout for the first children’s day at this market. Our Plinko game was never still and we almost ran out of prizes! This little girl was so proud of her new library card, she just had to take it out of her purse and show us. Thanks to Denise and Kristen Fowler for planning this fun day. [August 2022]
