Hey Modesto! I hope you all are doing well and had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends. With Thanksgiving over, it is officially okay to start celebrating Christmas.
Modesto is absolutely gorgeous in the winter time. Modesto does an amazing job at providing fun winter and Christmas activities for all ages to participate in. My all time favorite place for the winter has recently just opened back up for their seventh season. Modesto on Ice! Tickets are on sale now! Downtown Modesto is my favorite place to be, and it is conveniently located right in the heart of it. All ages are welcomed. Each session is 90 minutes long. There are tables and chairs available for when you’re skated out.
There are even some fire pits and heaters for the more chilly days. Grab a bite to eat at one of Modesto’s delicious restaurants before you head over, or take a look at their concession stand with delicious sweet treats, hot dogs, cup of noodles, and so much more. I can’t go to the rink without getting a cup of their famous loaded hot chocolate. Tickets are just $14 for ages 3-12 and $18 for ages 13 and up. The beautiful rink is located right on the corner of 11th and K Street. It will be open from November 19th through the 16th of January. What are you waiting for? Head on down to the ¨coolest place in town.¨
Looking for something fun to do this month? Check out Drum Love! This is a non-profit organization. They believe everyone should have the chance to experience music! David Rodgers is the lead drummer. He has spent over 30 years drumming. He is the founder of Drum Love, and I even got the chance to speak with him at this year’s MAMA Awards! The website has the dates and days they will be meeting if you check out drum-love.com. There´s multiple drum circles this month and they’re all located at MoRo music garden right in front of Gallo center for the arts. Check it out. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and stay warm!
