This was an overall GREAT Fam/Focus Group experience. I learned so much about Rancho Cordova. I've been living in this region for 24 years and never knew Rancho had this much to offer in the way of lodging, meeting space and activities. I am already looking into booking one of the places I learned about on this trip. Maggie and crew are awesome, and if invited again I would participate without hesitation. Keep up the good work and after you read this, go, Visit Rancho Cordova!

I didn't know a thing about Rancho Cordova before this FAM and now I can't wait to come back. Rancho Cordova has something for everyone. It's not one of the big cities in California but it offers all the best of the California lifestyle.
