This costs you nothing - the 3% comes from SaveMart as a supporter of our nonprofit organization. Once you get into the habit of remembering your SHARES card, the rest is simple. Thanks to you and SaveMart for supporting Access Sacramento.

Letters of Support Needed! 

 

Assembly Joint Rresolution 39, authored and introduced by Assembly member Roger Hernandez asks that Congress eliminate outdated language that harms the way Public, Education and Government access cable stations are funded.

 

AJR 39 gained approval in the California Assembly several weeks ago,

 

nd if AJR 39 passes the Senate, it will move directly toward Washington.  

 

Your letters in support of AJR 39 are needed now more than ever.

 

Draft your letter of support to your Senator today and urge he/she support AJR 39. Now is the time to act.  Thank you for your support. 

Filmmaker, Gary Nyland 

is Preserving State Fair History

 

My name is Gary Nyland, I'm making a film about the California State Fair and I could use your help.

 

Under the auspices of Access Sacramento, I'm making a short documentary about the history of the State Fair that will be screened at the Crest Theater in October 2014 as part of the 15th annual Place Called Sacramento film festival.  

 

I'll have a table at the Place Called Sacramento Cast and Crew Call tomorrow where volunteers can become part of the documentary process and also offer any historic photos or memorabilia they might be willing to share. 

 

 I am searching for images, both still and moving, of a state fair that's been held continuously since 1854. I'm also searching for posters, programs, collectibles, ephemera, news articles and anecdotal remembrances. Happily, Sacramento seems to be the perfect place to research this very popular annual attraction.

 

Any resources that you can share with me will be greatly appreciated, both by me and by generations of Sacramentans.
