Happy Thursday, Valley Hoppers!

We have a nice long-weekend mix, but especially for music. From Mitchell Tenpenny to the Ying Yang Twinsβ€” and it looks like this is the start of Groovin’ in the Grove for Jessie’s Grove as well.

The one we’re particularly excited about is Pageo Farm’s Lavender Nights. If you can’t make it, they have another date in June, and there will be some other lavender options coming up next week in Modesto as well. But it will be a special night, there’s no doubt about it.

Here’s to a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.
Happy Hoppin’
