was honored to participate with the El Dorado Hills Chamber  at this year‘s BizWalk.

What an incredible afternoon for our annual Biz Walk!

There is no better way to understand the pulse of our local economy than to walk into our businesses, listen to their experiences, and hear firsthand how business is doing.

We were overwhelmed by the incredible turnout and level of leadership who joined us! From El Dorado County’s Chief Administrative Officer, Directors of Planning & Building and Transportation, our County Supervisor and his assistant, to our Fire Chief, Deputy Fire Chief, Deputy Fire Marshal, CSD General Manager, Chamber Board Members, Ambassadors, and dedicated Chamber members — this was truly a community-wide effort!

Together, we visited more than 150 local businesses!

What makes this event so powerful is the opportunity to connect business owners directly with community leaders, hear their successes and challenges, and turn those conversations into meaningful action.

Stay tuned! We look forward to sharing the results of this year’s Biz Walk in a comprehensive report in the coming weeks.
A heartfelt THANK YOU to our generous sponsors and everyone who gave their time, energy, and commitment to making this year’s Biz Walk such a success.

When we listen to our businesses, we strengthen our entire community!

Remembering a fallen hero today.

Thank you to the entire El Dorado County Sheriff's Office for all you do to keep our community safe.

Today, Friday, October 23rd marks 7 years since El Dorado County Sheriff’s Deputy Brian “Ish” Ishmael gave his life in the line of duty.

Deputy Ishmael was killed in the line of duty in 2019. Deputy Ishmael and his ride along were answering a call for service of a robbery from a ma*****na garden. When they approached the grow, a man opened fire shooting both Deputy Ishmael and the San Joaquin County deputy. Both deputies were able to return fire and injure the suspect, however Deputy Ishmael sustained fatal injuries.

Deputy Ishmael was 37 years old, a four-year veteran with El Dorado County
Sheriff’s Office and previously served two years with the Placerville Police
Department. He was survived by his wife and three children.

If you had the honor of meeting Brian, please take a moment to pause and remember who he was, not only as a Deputy for the Sheriff's Office, but him as a father, brother, son and a friend.

Safe Charging is a Superpower!

El Dorado Hills Fire Department crews have been visiting our local schools to share this year’s Fire Prevention Week message: “Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging is a Superpower!”

Students are learning how everyday charging habits can help reduce the risk of lithium-ion battery fires and keep their homes and communities safer. Small steps can make a big difference!

A huge thank-you to all of our local schools, teachers, and students for participating! We can’t wait to see the creative posters students submit for our annual Fire Prevention Poster Contest, showing us what they’ve learned about safe charging.

Stay tuned! We’ll be sharing our contest winners in just a few weeks!
