Happy Thursday, Valley Hoppers!
Today is the last day of our July Giveaway spree, so get your votes in while you can! You’ll find this week’s poll below. All it takes is a vote + some feedback for a bonus vote. And a big congratulations to Cristin from Tracy as last week’s winner!!
Stealing the show this week is the WWE '2026 Tour in Stockton, and a handful of fun comedy shows. DoKnow and DaHawmies 7/25 show sold out so quickly that they added an additional date for the 24th.
Jessie’s Grove in Lodi is also having a big weekend with Forejour (for our Journey lovers) and Kat Country 103 coming this Friday.
Ton of great stuff happening. Make it a great weekend everyone.
Happy Hoppin’
