If you thought the “Great Debate” was last Thursday with Joe Biden and Sarah Palin, think again!  Sacramento has their own headline making debate.  Sacramento mayoral candidates Heather Fargo and Kevin Johnson will square off at Sacramento State in a live, televised debate from 6:30 to 8 p.m., Monday, Oct. 6, in the University Union Ballroom. The non-partisan debate will be broadcast on KCRA Channel 3 and Capital Public Radio, FM 90.9.

If you hurry you can still make it to the Lincoln Airshow happening today from 10:00AM to 4:30PM.  It’s a real bargain because everyone under 17 an all military personnel get in free and everyone else only $5.  They will have aircraft on display, flying performance events, and skydiving demonstrations.  Plus they will have local vendors with good things to eat and drink.  So fly on out to the Lincoln Airport and join the fun!

 Besides the film festival which will be great fun it is an opportunity to  visit one of Sacramento’s oldest landmarks, the Crest Theatre.  The site that the Crest Theatre sits on has housed a theatre since 1912. The first, the Empress, was a vaudeville theatre which opened in 1913. The second, The Hippodrome, was originally a vaudeville house which converted to a motion picture theatre in the late 1920’s. In 1946, the Hippodrome interior was demolished and the Crest was built inside the Hippodrome building shell.
