Since receiving its initial accreditation in 2004, Folsom Lake College has educated more than 68,000 students in the region.

To celebrate its 10th Anniversary, Folsom Lake College will hold an open house festival on Saturday, October 11 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Folsom campus (10 College Parkway, off E. Bidwell St.).

"Folsom Lake College is eager to showcase the tremendous growth and contributions of the college to our service areas of Folsom, Rancho Cordova, and El Dorado County," said Folsom Lake College President Rachel Rosenthal. "We welcome the community to come out and explore the people, programs, and facilities that are making Folsom Lake College an educational destination, not only in the region, but across the state."

Events planned include: tours of the beautiful 151-acre campus, a children's activity area, stage performances (including two free performances by the United States Air Force Band of the Golden West at the Harris Center for the Arts - go to harriscenter.net to reserve tickets), instructional program demonstrations, history and art displays, student club booths, exhibition games played on the new athletic fields featuring the baseball and men's and women's soccer teams, live falcon exhibit in honor of the college's mascot, and delicious cuisine from local food trucks.
