Happy New Year, Valley Hoppers!
Do we all have our resolutions ready??

As we close out the year and look ahead to 2026, we want to take a moment to thank you for being here with us, and to share where Valley Hopper is headed next.

In the months ahead, we’ll be growing beyond a weekly events guide into a broader local resource — one that highlights the people shaping the Valley and builds practical tools to help residents make the most of living here.

We’re also actively building the Valley Hopper website, which will bring this work together in one place. Once live, it will open up a deeper way to discover the Valley alongside our regular events coverage. We’ll share more when it’s ready.

This issue marks the final release of our Holiday Stretch Edition. We’ll return to our regular schedule with the January 8, 2026 edition, as activity across the Valley begins to pick back up.

And finally, this is your last chance to submit your name for the $100 Gift Card to Ernie’s Seafood! Giveaway entry closes Jan 6 at 11:59pm — reply “I’m in!” to enter (details below).

Here’s to a great year ahead!
