We are very excited to announce that we have completed an agreement on a facility to house John Adams Academy – El Dorado Hills!  

We will be leasing land to house temporary facilities for this fall while we finalize the details on our permanent facility, for which we hope to have a grand opening fall of 2018. This coming school year, we plan to serve grades TK through 7 and then to add grade levels in subsequent years until we have organically grown to serve all grades--TK through 12th grade.

The El Dorado County Fairgrounds based Placerville Speedway is ready to kick-off the biggest month of the season this Saturday evening when the 14th annual Tribute to Al Hinds takes place at the quarter-mile.

Al Hinds was the second promoter of the Placerville Speedway. Hinds took operation of the track with business partner Richard Hirst from its founder, Bruno Romani, in 1968, three years after it first opened when the facility was built around an existing community football field.

My friend Maggie Renfro (center of the picture) passed on today [Aug 1] after a long bout with cancer.

Maggie WAS the life of any get together. The longer the party the funnier Maggie would be. The ever patient Renfro would smile while carrying on his own conversation with the guys.

I will miss going into her shop, Renfro's on Main Street, full of customers to be greated by " Ron Briggs get your goddamn mangy mutts out of my shop!"
