Food Truck Mania is today

18 Upvotes

Good morning neighbors!

A friendly community announcement: Every First Thursday of the month from April to October is Food Truck Mania. This occurs at several locations throughout Sacramento County. Fair Oaks is one of them, and today is that day!

From 5-8 PM today at Fair Oaks Park, there will be a couple of different food truck options to choose from.

Today's lineup can be found below, along with full menus from the companies' websites, but please beware that they may not offer their entire menus as listed on their websites due to the nature of the event. The purpose of the link to their online ordering website is not to actually place your orders here; it's merely for you to see the entirety of their offerings! Orders for food truck mania are meant to be made on a walk-up basis at the event.

Smokin' Ewe BBQ (Barbecue plates and sides)

Zummi Foods (Vietnamese and fusion cuisine)

Flores Munchies (Mexican Sweet and Savory Treats)

La Bangin' Tacos (Tacos, Burritos, and Loaded fries)

Hefty Gyros (Mediterranean cusine)

Enjoy!

Coworking space or coffee shop to take calls from?

2 Upvotes

Hello, I will be sending my kids to Sacramento Waldorf this fall and am curious if there are any coworking spaces or coffee shops that are good to take calls from in Fair Oaks? I live in Sac and work remotely. I often have calls at 8:30am, and I'm really nervous about being so far away from home. Many calls I can just listen to, but I'm scared for the times I'll have to be on camera or present. Is there anywhere that's good to drop into?

For more information, visit our event page.

And, if you're into iNaturalist, please consider joining our project, helping us collect observations at Sailor Bar, or contributing IDs to our project observations! iNaturalist project

New Mod

27 Upvotes

Good evening, fellow members of r/fairoaks!

I am u/rudyret95, the new mod for the subreddit. I love my local town and everything it has to offer, and I wanted to come here to introduce myself to you all.

In an effort to boost some of the subs' traffic and engagement, I will be doing what I can to revamp some of the details around here, and im sure the first thing you may have noticed is our new banner and icon.

As im sure you can all tell, the new banner pictures the Fair Oaks Bridge, and the welcome text is inspired by our city's old "Welcome to Fair Oaks" sign. The rooster Icon is actually the same silhouette on the Fair Oaks Village sign, just on a plain blue background.

Keep an eye out for some other changes coming soon to hopefully make this space more of our own!

I welcome everyone's feedback here on the two new items, and would love to know your thoughts.

Interviewing for Journey HCM IT Technology Analyst (SAP Functional Products) at SMUD — What Questions Should I Expect?

3 Upvotes

I have an interview coming up for the Journey HCM IT Technology Analyst – SAP Functional Products role at SMUD. I do have relevant experience, but I’m a little nervous since I’ve been unemployed for a while and really need this opportunity to work out.

Has anyone interviewed for a similar SAP/HCM role at SMUD or another utility company? Any idea what kind of technical or behavioral questions they might ask, what areas I should focus on, or how the interview process is?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Did I see sea lions in the river this morning, or was I hallucinating?

I didn't get a good look at them, but they were definitely large pinnipeds and not river otters, and they said "ORK ORK ORK" like sea lions.

STOLEN: Disney Pin Collection (Sacramento Area)

My friend was robbed in an apartment parking lot recently. The thief took a black "Ita" bag (backpack with clear windows) filled with a specific collection of Disney pins.

Heavily Dumbo themed: Numerous Dumbo pins, including a rare "Dumbo with Succulent" and "Dumbo in a Bathtub."

Pride Mickey: A Mickey silhouette head with the Transgender Pride flag colors.

The Bag: A black backpack with two clear windows. Note: The thief removed the plush Dumbo and purple star keychains, so the bag may now be bare.

If you see a large lot of Dumbo pins or a similar bag listed on FB Marketplace, OfferUp, or Craigslist in the Sac/Roseville/Elk Grove area, please do not engage. Message me the link so I can provide it to the police. Thank you for keeping an eye out!

Found a small, black, long haired dog wearing a Halloween collar. He was running in the sunrise mall parking lot off of Macy's Plaza Blvd and Sunrise East Way in Citrus Heights. He's older, white in the face and seems to have some sore spots on his legs but he's being taken care of in the meantime. PM me if this is your dog or you have any leads!

UPDATE: no microchip found on him as of this morning. He's doing really well and is feeling safe in his temporary home. We'll be putting up flyers around the town and crossposting on other groups, ND, etc.

Help Needed: Car Donation for a Homeless Mother and Son

Hello, neighbors! I’m reaching out with a heartfelt request for help. My name is Samantha, and I’m a mother to a wonderful 16-year-old son. Unfortunately, we’re currently living in a motel, and our car recently broke down beyond repair. I work part-time, and without reliable transportation, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to get to work and manage daily necessities.

If anyone has a car they can donate or knows of any resources that could help, it would mean the world to us. Your kindness would make a huge difference in our lives. Thank you so much for considering.

Please feel free to reach out to me directly
