As the city of Hanford springs into April, our podcast brings you a front-row seat to the local buzz that makes our community pulse. We kicked off the month with egg hunts and museum openings, and now the Hanford City Council is stealing the spotlight. They've rolled up their sleeves to address the Community Block Grant, strategize our downtown's future, and face the challenging issues of homelessness and infrastructure head-on. We also bid a bittersweet adieu to Councilwoman Diane Sharp and gear up for a plethora of engaging events beckoning your involvement—from tech classes to cultural festivities and charity runs.
This episode wouldn't be complete without a chat with Hanford's beloved 'Book Lady,' Erin Vogel, whose passion for literacy is as infectious as it is inspiring. She takes us on a journey from her childhood, surrounded by the magic of books, to her mission of fostering a reading culture in our town. The Itty Bitty Bookshop, her darling enterprise, has grown from a humble booth at the Thursday Night Marketplace into a sanctuary for bibliophiles of all ages. Erin hints at what's in store for this season, where the lines between reading and pop culture blur in the most delightful way. Tune in for tales that transcend pages and transform our community.
Eric gives us an update of the baseball and softball action over Spring Break including an impressive tournament title by the Sierra Pacific Golden Bears baseball team!
