Happy Thursday, Valley Hoppers!
We have three heavy hitters in comedy this week! There aren’t many tickets left, but as of Wed evening, all do still have some available— to our surprise.
If you caught either our article or instagram post about cherry season this year, you’ll know that this is likely the last of about 2 good weeks we expected for picking, due to the weather in March. This week, however, we get to add the Linden Cherry Festival to the list!
Have a wonderful week everyone.
P.s. We posted a fun video of our Mother’s Day trip to Lodi Bloom if anyone who doesn’t currently follow us is interested :)
