Happy Thursday, Valley Hoppers!
Hopefully you aren’t tired of seeing Tim Allen’s face yet — one last feature since the show was rescheduled to Feb 20. After this we are movin’ on!

We’ve got a few strong picks for anyone with little ones in your orbit: Peppa Pig live in Modesto, a Hello Kitty ceramics class in Lodi, the NorCal Science & Tech Festival, and Astronomy in the Park at Stockton’s Shumway Regional Park — a great one for stargazing families.

Most of the featured picks land on Friday this week. A few strong contenders land later in the weekend for anyone who needs more runway. Mark Hummel’s Blues Harmonica Blowout at the Tracy Grand Theatre on Saturday had my eye.

Cheers & Happy Hoppin!
