Would you like the good news or the bad news first? |
|
|
We thought so! The Good news is that there’s freakin’ so so much to do here this weekend. Seriously! The ClovisFest starts Saturday, plus the Bulldogs are at home on Saturday. They are 3 and 0 and you can just feel the excitement around town. |
|
|
WE’RE GIVING AWAY 2 TICKETS TO THE BULLDOG GAME! JUST ANSWER THE QUIZ IN THE FRESYES INSIDER SATURDAY MORNING! |
|
|
Sunday has WWE at the Save Mart. Oh my! |
|
|
Sometimes the needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few. |
|
|
The Bad News? You just can’t do it all. Just think about tonight… There’s Bluegrass in the Park, then there’s a screening of one of the better Star Trek movies of all time at The Crest. Better? Some would say it’s the BEST! But, then the Marshall Tucker Band is playing too? |

How are you ever going to decide? |

The 48th Annual ClovisFest and Hot Air Balloon Fun Fly |
|

This weekend the Central Valley comes alive with the sights and sounds of hot air balloons, shopping, and family entertainment! The 48th annual ClovisFest and Hot Air Balloon Fun Fly, hosted by the Clovis Chamber of Commerce and Chukchansi Gold Resort and Casino, is set to take place this weekend. It’s a much-anticipated event that draws thousands of local residents from Clovis and Fresno to Old Town Clovis for a fantastic day of family fun. |

Step into the vibrant atmosphere and explore the ClovisFest International Village on 4th Street. Here, you and your family can embark on exciting cultural adventures and enjoy captivating live performances. |

Don’t miss the chance to witness the spectacular display of hot air balloons. You’ll want to be at the Clovis Rodeo grounds before sunrise. Yeah, it’s hella early but you’ll be treated to the breathtaking sight (and sound) of these majestic balloons preparing for takeoff. To secure a prime viewing spot, make sure to arrive early on both Saturday and Sunday. The balloon pilots start inflating their balloons around 6:15 am, with liftoff scheduled for dawn, weather permitting. Dawn is at 6:47 A.M. because you were just wondering that, right? |

While public balloon rides may not be available, tethered rides are an option for those seeking a taste of the ballooning experience.

I love where I live, and I also love what I do. I'm lucky to be able to work in a profession in which I get to build relationships; one that has me meeting new people each and every day and helping them to build new lives in my beloved city. I'm lucky enough to work in a profession in which I can marry cutting-edge technologies and marketing techniques to good, old-fashioned, nose-to-the-grindstone work. I am lucky enough to work in a profession that allows me to work as an advocate for my clients; to use every tool at my disposal to get a job done well for them, and with as little stress and expense as possible.
I love my city. I love my job. One inspires my excellence for the other.
