1. The Roseville Police Department released its 2022 Annual Summary Report on Tuesday. Most crime, including property crime, was down year over year.

• First, you knew it as Passport Weekend. After the pandemic, it was renamed "The Great Out There." Now, the monickers are combined and it's Passport to the Great Out There. Whatever you call it, it's a weekend of fun in the Foothill Wine Country and it's returning this year on April 22 -23! "The popular annual event allows guests to experience 20 family-owned wineries throughout El Dorado County, with each winery offering signature food and wine tastings, reserve wines, and other surprises." It'll be beautiful up there that time of year! Enjoy! (Roseville Today)
