Happy Thursday, Valley Hoppers!
How great is Valentine’s Day weekend in the Valley huh?
Dinner plans are a must (definitely do those), but we have Wine & Chocolate weekend in Lodi, Swan Lake in Stockton, Candlelight concerts in Modesto, Standup Comedy in Manteca, Cocktail parties in Lathrop and Acampo and so much more!
Lastly, Tim Allen was moved from 2/7 to 2/20. So for anyone who was on the edge about seeing him— here’s your sign!
Have a WONDERFUL Valentine’s Weekend everyone.
