Weekend Planner: Fitness Fest, Bowling Extravaganza

Here's what's happening in and around Elk Grove this weekend.

No one can say that Elk Grove residents don't care about local issues.  After the city council voted to ban lighting up near parks and schools, everyone's got smoke coming out of their ears about it.  Just look at our comments section. But it's Friday, so let's call a truce for the moment, put down the Marlboro Lights and concentrate on smoking-hot fun—no ifs, ands or butts!

Strike! Appetizers, raffle prizes, a no-host bar and good company are all part of the festivities during Friday's Bowling Extravaganza Charity Event to benefit Elk Grove Food Bank Services and Elk Grove Together, at from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.  All 44 lanes are sold out, but our bowlers need cheerleaders, so come on down and root for your favorite foursome.

Don't mess with her.  There's still time to sign up for Self-Defense for Women at this Saturday from 1 p.m. until 2:30 p.m.  This free class will show you how to avoid a violent confrontation and utilize your strengths against an attacker's weaknesses.  Register .

I want muscle.  Skip the movie theater this Sunday and go to for the 2nd Annual Fittest of Elk Grove Competition/Health & Wellness Fair from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Event highlights include athlete competitions, complimentary product samples, face painting and jump houses for the kids and more.  Call (916) 710-4493 for more information.

Thanks for the suggestion. The City is currently studying a new interchange off 99 and Whitelock,Read More and the project is in our General Plan. We’re also updating the Elk Grove Blvd. onramp—currently one of the most outdated on 99 in the region. Work will begin this summer.

An overpass and off/on ramps will be built at Whitelock Parkway after the mall is built, whichRead More should take place after the soccer stadium is built, which should take place after the city secures a professional soccer team. Elk Grove better make sure the professional soccer team is a women's team, or else LaWanna Montgomery will be mad.

Why not down to Grantline and then head back north along the freeway? Plus Kammerer will eventuallyRead More be widened all the way to I-5 and commuters can use that too. Take Grantline to Kammerer to Bruceville.
