Happy Thursday, Valley Hoppers!
Really fun mix this week. We were torn on which events to feature, so I’ll give some notable shouts here:
If you have littles around, the Pixar in Concert show is going to be a blast.
Farmer John over at Dutch Hollow in Modesto has their craft fair and never disappoints.
Also, it isn’t cheap and seats are limited, but if you love high-end winemakers dinners, Americana House in Lodi is hosting one that looks fantastic.
Finally, we're giving away a $100 gift card to Market Tavern in Stockton. Every subscriber is automatically entered — details and bonus entries below.
Best of luck and Happy Hoppin’.
