Images of Sky, Space & Planets * Placerville * 'Out There' is a photo exhibit that celebrates the sky just above us.
The bright light from urban sprawl--taking over much of the world--has yet to fully engulf El Dorado County's dark skies. Above us, day and night, are more stars than we can count, more galaxies than we can see and, sadly, most people miss out on ever catching a tiny glimpse.
Out There brings the night sky to you through photography by local astronomy buffs and photographers. Partnering El Dorado Arts Council with the Community Observatory (on the campus of the Placerville branch of Folsom Lake College), the exhibition exposes what is hidden in the dark for millennia.

The Kingston Trio * The Legacy Tour * There is nothing like the experience of performing before an adoring audience. Successful groups become icons and often extend their performing years as long as they can. Performers are human and their productive years are limited. The exposure through live performances of the phenomena they have created is left either to new groups performing tributes to the original or, in rare cases, a continuation of the original group with replacements, which we call a legacy group. The Kingston Trio is a legacy group. It has just become a true meaning of the term "legacy" as the mantle has been handed down to Josh Reynolds, the son of Nick Reynolds, one of the original members of The Kingston Trio. The Kingston Trio has been diligently preparing a brand new and exciting show. Josh and Nick's cousin, Mike Marvin, along with the talented Tim Gorelangton will now continue the performing legacy of The Kingston Trio. At the Harris Center, Folsom Lake College in Folsom, 2pm. Tickets $28 - $52. More info: harriscenter.net, 916-608-6888.
