Happy Thursday, Valley Hoppers!

We’ve got some great family activities this week with Easter around the corner.
Did you know that the Micke Grove Easter Egg Hunt will have 25,000 eggs hidden this year? So good we had to include the flyer below.

Next, the Lodi Wine Festival will be going on which draws thousands of attendees every year. But if you're planning to head over after the egg hunt, you'll need to arrange childcare β€” it's a 21+ event.

Finally, a big thanks to everyone who participated in this month’s Giveaway to the Stockton Market Tavern and a congratulations to our winner Heidi Nelsen!! More to come on this below.

And that’s a wrap!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
