Happy Thursday, Valley Hoppers!
We’re seeing a nice recovery on events from the post-Holiday breather, ranging from Comedy Super Stars like Jo Koy, to Candlelight Concerts in Modesto (a familiy fav), fun performances for both kids and adults alike, and much more.

This weekend also mark’s the opening day for Modesto’s Certified Farmers Market for all of my fellow FM enjoyers out there.

Happy Hoppin!
