Hello Yuba City! Hope your coffee tastes especially good this morning. In today’s bring-the-kiddos edition: Monster truck tour, tiny home designers, and community center rebuild + excuses to get the fam out and about this week.
Your insurance won't cover a $12,000 HVAC bill: If your furnace quits before it warms up, your homeowners insurance will tell you it's a "maintenance issue" and wish you luck. Insurance covers sudden disasters. It doesn't cover the systems that wear out over time, and those are the expensive ones. A home warranty is built for exactly this. HVAC, water heater, appliances, plumbing, electrical... all covered for less than $1/day with no age restrictions on what's covered. You call, they send a tech, you pay a service fee. They handle the rest. This one's 50% off right now.* |
01 — Worth knowing In the newsThree local stories this week, plus a few worth your money.
Officials urge caution: No golden mussels detected yet in the Sacramento River through Sutter, Colusa and Yuba counties, but wildlife officials urge boaters to take precautions to prevent the invasive species spreading -- learn how to prevent spread.
Cannabis rules get revised: Marysville City Council voted to revise cannabis dispensary buffer zones, allowing openings in single-family and two-family residential areas while keeping restrictions. The decision will come at the next meeting -- see what changes are planned.
Community hub gets a boost: After years of storm damage threatened closure, a local business moved in to rebuild Marysville’s Tri-Counties Community Center, aiming to keep vital community programs running and the gathering space open -- see the rebuild progress.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.*
The bill all retirees should double check: Car insurance. If you’ve been on the same plan for years, you might be paying way more than you need to. It’s an easy one to forget about, but switching could save you up to $600 this year. Case in point: I shopped around and ended up cutting my premium in half -- this free comparison tool makes it easy.*

Carrying $5,000 or more on your cards? Stop the interest charges: A balance that size racks up interest fast, and at today's rates it barely budges no matter how much you pay. This card gives you 0% intro APR until 2028 on balance transfers (made in the first 60 days), with a $0 annual fee. That means almost two years to pay down what you owe with no interest charges. *See if it's a fit →

05 — The event calendar Fun for the famOur favorite upcoming kid and family-friendly events. All events are subject to change. Always check official event pages before heading out.
🏠 Tiny Home Designers @ Playzeum | Wednesday (6/24) at 9:00 AM – Summer break calls for outsourcing the chaos, so park the budding builders at Tiny Home Designers Summer Camp, where they draft, design, and decorate pint-sized pads. It is hands-on, creative, and surprisingly practical, which beats them turning your living room into a blanket fort subdivision.
🌱 Plant a Seed @ Yuba County Government Center (Marysville) | Wednesday (6/24) at 12:00 PM – Plant a Seed is getting folks together to swap planting tricks, get a little muddy, and tuck sunflower seeds into soil, then head home with a starter. Bring your friends, your sun hat, and that tote that finally earns its keep. Registration required, supplies limited.
🧱 Lego Club @ Sutter County Library | Wednesday (6/24) at 2:00 PM – School’s out, which means Lego masterpieces are taking over the Sutter County Library on Wednesdays. Bring the 8-and-up crew for free building time, admire their brick genius on display all week, and enjoy air conditioning, quiet, and the smug glow of productive parenting.
🌷 Fun Fridays in the Garden @ Artisan Community Garden | Friday (6/26) at 9:00 AM – Garden Fridays beat the bounce house. The kids, of all ages, water garden beds, pick produce, conquer the mud kitchen, and dive into sensory and art play, all free. Not a drop-off, you stick around, catch up with neighbors, and maybe leave with dinner ingredients.
🚚 Malicious Monster Truck Tour @ Yuba Sutter Fairgrounds | Friday (6/26) – Yuba-Sutter Fairgrounds is trading goats and funnel cakes for towering trucks, flying dirt, and that sweet smell of gasoline. It’s loud, ridiculous, and unexpectedly cathartic. Bring earplugs, a sense of humor, and your inner eight-year-old, then call it quality time.
🐄 Jr. Livestock & Vocational Project Auction @ Yuba-Sutter Fairgrounds | Saturday (6/27) at 9:00 AM – Dust off your boots, your checkbook, and your poker face, this is the big one where local kids auction off blue-ribbon animals and shop-class masterpieces. Bid generously, fill the freezer, and feel smug knowing your money went somewhere better than Amazon.
🪖 Military Appreciation Day @ Yuba Sutter Fairgrounds | Sunday (6/28) at 11:00 AM – Fair season calls for corn dogs and gratitude. Military Appreciation Day means active law enforcement, firefighters, first responders, doctors, and nurses waltz in free, and the rest of us can say thanks, buy a lemonade, and try not to get powdered sugar on everything.

06 — From our sponsor Heads up for pet parentsTogether with our sponsor Lemonade. Nothing prepares you for a late-night emergency at the vet. I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. From the initial exam fee just to be seen, to x-rays, surgery, medication, and follow-up visits… the bill racks up fast (to say the least). And at that moment? You’re not thinking about your savings, you’re just saying yes to whatever keeps them thriving. As soon as we got home, I dug around online and ultimately signed up for Pet Insurance. It was too late for me, but you could save thousands on your next vet bill with *Lemonade. |
