The Folsom Historic District Amphitheater has been renamed Zittel Family Amphitheater, in honor of the decades of service by Roger and Gail Zittel to the Folsom community. The family name is most recognizable from Zittel Farms, but Roger was also the first manager of the Folsom Chamber of Commerce and a founding member of the Folsom Athletic Association. His wife, Gail, served on the Planning Commission for seven years and assisted with the development of the city’s General Plan.
