It’s time to gather once again for Makers Mart, a handmade craft fair and beloved holiday ritual for the creative community. Join 70+ artisans from around the region as they showcase the best of their craft – from ceramics to candles and jewelry to apothecary, and much more, including an array of unexpected finds and gifts.

(with options for our lovely vegetarian friends), cozy up with coffee and hot chocolate by Alma Oscura, and partake of gluten free and vegan baked good creations by Brown Rice Bakery.

💪🏽 River Park Patrol Needs You!
🚨 Help Keep River Park Safe – Join Our Neighborhood Watch!
Help keep our community safe as Paradise Beach reopens. We’re seeking 10–12 volunteers to patrol Friday and Saturday nights (10pm–midnight) from May to August. You can also get involved by walking, jogging, or driving through the neighborhood at other times. Patrols are flexible and divided into three manageable areas. Just 2–3 patrols a month and a few short meetings per year make a big difference.
📢 Make a Report
Be sure to report all River Park issues to our Neighborhood Watch captain, Rex Hessock. Issues are compiled and shared with our Sac PD representative to help allocate police resources more effectively.
Report any issues like underage drinking, vandalism, or homelessness, and help us work with local police to keep River Park safe.
📞Contact Rex Hesock at (916) 214-1623 or rbandit@aol.com, or email riverparkpatrol@aol.com to get involved!
🗓 Next Board Meeting Date:
The RPNA Board of Directors meets every month on the 3rd Thursday, and any RPNA member is welcome to attend. The next meeting is Thursday, January 15th, at 7:30 pm at Fremont Presbyterian Church Rm #E211.
