🌱Rocklin DUI Checkpoint + Foster A Furry Friend For The Holidays

Good morning, everybody! I'm back in your inbox this morning with your new edition of the Roseville Daily. Keep reading for the most important things happening in town, including updates on...

• Both Roseville and Rocklin have Santa photo ops through December 24.
• Legends at Woodcreek is hosting Santa for brunch today!
• After all of the holiday excesses, take a nutrition class with Be Well Roseville.

But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny. High: 52 Low: 35.

📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Roseville who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our readers to local businesses they need to know. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top stories in Roseville today:

1. Rocklin police will conduct a DUI checkpoint at an undisclosed location within the city on December 23. "Rocklin Lieutenant Neil Costa said that it is usual practice for the location of the checkpoint to remain unknown to the public as the department does not want people taking alternate routes to avoid the checkpoint." (KTXL FOX 40 Sacramento)
2. Do you have room in your heart and your home for a furry foster companion? "From now until Dec. 31, Placer County Animal Services is welcoming 'Holiday Hero' fosters to take a pet home for the holidays, even if just for a few days." You'll have to complete some paperwork and a verbal training, but then you can bring a friend home for the holidays with you. All supplies are also provided. (Roseville Today)
3. The Doty Ravine Preserve northeast of Lincoln is being renamed. The new name will be the Weygandt Doty Ravine Preserve, in honor of retiring Placer County District 2 Supervisor Robert Weygandt, who has spent the last 28 years in public service in Placer County. (placer.ca.gov)
4. Are you seeing double? Nope! Santa is just magical, and he can be ready for pictures in both Roseville and Rocklin from now until December 24. In Roseville you can catch a selfie with the Big Elfie at the Galleria Mall, or let his helpers do the honors, and in Rocklin, he'll be showing his pearly whites at Bass Pro Shops, where you can snag yourself a free 4 x 6 photo. (Gold Country Media)
5. Roseville Today presents the third in its series on California laws that may impact us in Roseville. Today the editors summarize laws that address "hate crimes, law enforcement accountability, recycling, franchises, foster youth, elections, compassionate release and more."
