Dear Mr. Turner,
Immediately upon entering the city limits of Loomis, California, visitors will find themselves wondering if the clocks have stopped and the decades have been reversed.
Hiding just past the rapidly-developing Roseville and Rocklin lies Loomis, a small city with a population of only around 6,300 people. Don’t be fooled; this city has much to offer to anyone with a tank of gas to spare.
The Secret Ravine Vineyard and Winery offers tours and wine produced from locally-grown grapes. If visitors drive a little deeper, they will find the residents’ cherished Blue Goose Fruit Shed. Once used as a fruit packaging shed, it now is home to community gatherings, art competitions, and poetry readings among other things.
Driving along the winding roads, it is hard not to stare in awe at the beautiful, rustic homes sitting on plots of land from one acre to beyond. The trees and foliage frame the picturesque scenery perfectly and you can feel the sense of community in the smiles on residents’ faces.
The piece is planned to be around 500-600 words but can be tailored as needed. I think it would fit perfectly in your “Tank of Gas” section.
I am a journalism major with hopes of pursuing a career in journalism. I am currently taking a magazine writing course taught by Professor Mike Fitzgerald, who writes for Reuters as well as many other magazines and newspapers. I am also a resident of Placer County, which Loomis lies in.
I hope that I can share the secret of Loomis to your readers. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Casey L. Kirk
