Happy Thursday, Valley Hoppers!

We have a few names this week that are always a treat when they pop up. Highlights include Zinc House Farms and the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds' Dino Adventure weekend! Zinc House is a genuine treasure if you’ve never had the opportunity to visit. Happy to see them bring back live music and hope for more to come soon.

A few quick callouts
Spenker Farms is hosting one of their beloved goat events, and there’s a Selena Experience show this weekend that I just know is going to be a hit.
I expect we’ll see more outdoor events popping up as the weather improves as well.

Have a wonderful weekend ahead everyone.
Happy Hoppin’!
