Every year, cities and towns throughout the 4th District celebrate their unique communities with fairs, parades and picnics. The City of Rocklin (pop 50,920) is no different, and yesterday was the annual Rocklin Jubilee. Charlie Brown was riding along for the fun, and the crowds were excited to see their next Congressman. Pictures below the fold...
The Jubilee started in 1968 in honor of Rocklin's 75th anniversary of incorporation, and a tradition was inspired. The day kicked off with a parade, followed by all day festivities at the Johnson-Sprinview Park. The day-long celebration ended with a fireworks grand finale in honor of Rocklin and our country.

The response from the crowds were very encouraging-- proof that Charlie's positive message of patriotism before partisanship is resonating with the voters in the 4th District.
