It looks yet another fabulous weekend here in Fresno and we can’t wait to get outside! With temps in the mid 80’s it’s the right time too! Remember to savor these days and make the best of them!
It’s a great weekend to get out to some of the many Farmer’s Markets we have around here. Speaking of which, we would love to hear which is your favorite and why.

The FresYes Explorer
Yes, it’s back for another week! Let’s dive in!
Let’s start with Friday night. Get a baby sitter for the kids and head down to Strummers for a little HOBO JOHNSON. Stop off somewhere for some food and a cocktail or two as this is going to get a little weird. Weird but worthwhile – we promise!
About that bite to eat. Did you know we have a whole category devoted to just Patio Dining? You can certainly find a great place to eat. Libelula, Saizon, Eureka! – the list goes on and on! Seriously, check out the Libelula Burger of the Week. The Fajita Burger – Sautéed peppers and onions on 2 angus beef patties smothered in melted ghost pepper cheese, garlic aioli and arugula on a butter toasted bun!

We’ll just let you drool a bit over that.
OK, back to Strummers: If you’ve never seen or heard from this “kid”, his shows are very unique. Part poetry, part hip-hop, part emo-rap, part spoken word. Hobo Johnson is neither a Hobo (although he did live in his car for a while) nor a Johnson (his real name is Frank Lopes).
Here’s a YouTube Video of Hobo on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series to give you a taste of what you are in for https://youtu.be/A8a2EosJIbM <= WARNING NSFW!
On Saturday let’s get outside and play with the kids at any one of the local parks. Yes, we have a category for that too! Head on over to https://www.fresyes.com/parks/.
If you have a pupper there’s a great article on 7 Dog Parks in Fresno – Clovis. If you don’t have a pupper, did you catch our The FresYes Totally Adoptable Pet of the Week! post? Only $10 for Adoption Fees and what a gorgeous doggie! Look deep into Odette’s eyes and tell us she’s not beautiful.

For Saturday Night take the kids to The Historic Crest for a showing of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. This is the original Disney Version. Here’s a test for you. If you can name all 7 of the Dwarfs, you and family can get in free! We’ll put the answer below.
CLICK HERE FOR THE ANSWER
Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey
(oh and we’re just kidding about the test – everyone gets in free)
If you’re not up for a movie, may we suggest a little Guns & Hoses? No, that’s not an Axl Rose Cover Band – it is actually a battle of two bands, one made up of entirely of active duty and retired Cops battling it out with another band made up entirely of active duty and retired Firefighters! Get the Guns & Hoses now?
We’re just thinking it would be a shame if the Cop Band didn’t play any of the top hits by the Police and likewise if the Firefighter Band didn’t play Burning Down The House, right? Oh and First Responders get in for free! (and you don’t have to name any dwarfs!)
Sunday Morning: As Jim Hopper would say, Mornings are for Coffee and Contemplation and we couldn’t agree more. Where’s the best Coffee? We had a poll and quite a few people agree. See for your self Poll: The Best of Fresno Coffee

After you finish with your contemplation, lets get going. Head down to the Tioga-Sequoia Beer Garden and get in on the Nintendo Themed Pub Quiz!
This quiz will largely focus on games Nintendo published, like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc., but there may be a few questions on other games released for Nintendo systems. Load up on mushrooms and extra lives and be sure to bring your best team of up to six with you. This quiz is free and for all ages!

Wahoo! If you get here at little early before the quiz you’ll also get the chance to meet and take photos with Mario from Super Mario Bros, from 12:00 – 1:00 pm! Don’t miss out on the scavenger hunt for power-up boxes around the Beer Garden, where you can find special discounts and even a Mario figurine. Plus, D&G Hot Dogs will be there from 12-4pm serving up NINTENDOGS! Remember, it’s dangerous to go alone, so bring your friends and family for a fun-filled day of trivia, games, and prizes! Let’s-a go!
