Staycation has been a hot topic at the “Scoop” all week.  I was really surprised to see that the Sacramento Bee says today that’s a “hot” word in summer travel but maybe it was overhyped.  Personally I think they are just jealous they didn’t think of it first.  According to the Bee, “22 percent expect to stay at least one night in a local hotel, motel or resort during their time off from work”.  According to my calculation, considering there are almost a million people in the whole Sacramento metro area, that means over 700,000 of us are staying home.  So I’m going to make the most of my time off work and enjoy my “staycation”.

Speaking of having a good time…..I found some more “Free Stuff” to do!

The Greek Festival starts today and from 11:00AM to 3:00PM admission is Free.  After that it’s only $5 general, $4 for seniors (65+) and kids under 12 get in for free, and it lasts through Sunday.  I doubt you will find any fried Twinkies like they have at the State Fair, but it used to be called the Greek Food Festival and they have been doing this every year for 45 years so I think they have this festival thing figured out.  A three day party, those Greeks really know how to Celebrate!

This happening event is at the Sacramento Convention Center at 1400 J Street.
