Sacramento fun facts!

I was curious about where I would be serving so I decided to do some digging. Here’s what I found… did you know…

• Sacramento is the capitol of California 
• More than 467,000 people live in Sacramento? That’s nuts! I come from a town of 60,000 people and that’s huge to me! I can’t imagine 467,000… 
• The Sacramento river is the longest river in California! Woo represent! 
• Just a few of the many nicknames for Sacramento are: ‘River City’, ‘City of Trees’, ‘The Big Tomato’ or one of my favorites, ‘Sactown’ (I’m going to have to start using that!)
• West of Sacramento is a place called YOLO County… sounds like Cali’s got some swag! 
• The coldest it’s ever been in Sactown is 18 degrees… That’s a heat wave compared to Montana! 
• Sacramento is two cities in one, a large network of tunnels remain underneath the foundation of the city. 
• Sacramento is home to the original Pony Express. 
• Do you like almonds? Well, you can thank good ol’ Tomato Town for that! Sactown processes more almonds than anyone else in the world.
