Pastry Nouveau opened Wednesday in the Eureka Ridge Plaza. The pastries will come directly from Julian's and, take it from me, they are so good! (Sacramento Bee via MSN)
2. Violins of Hope is coming to Johnson Hall in Roseville on February 28. The Chabad House of Placer County is sponsoring the event. Violins of Hope are instruments that were played by Jewish musicians during the Holocaust. The violins have been lovingly restored and are now on tour. "One of the violins will be played by Folsom Lake Symphony concertmaster Anita Felix, whose grandfather was a renowned conductor who himself fled Nazi Germany. Three other violins will be on display." (Roseville Today)

The City of Roseville wants you to beware of scammers promising to fix your home on the cheap! Check out the types of scams you may see and how to protect yourself, in this article from the City of Roseville.
4. It was supposed to be a dream trip to Hawaii, but it almost turned into a nightmare for one woman from Auburn. Karen Allen suffered a massive heart attack, often known as the "widow maker," at 30,000 feet on her way to Maui in January. As luck (or divine intervention) would have it, on the flight with her also happened to be an anesthesiologist, a vascular surgeon and an emergency room nurse. Against all odds, Allen survived the flight and was ready to greet her rescuers on Wednesday. (KCRA3)
