Fall Transformation
Fall is an interesting time of year in the Central Valley, because it’s when a transition takes place. The streets are a little emptier with the children back in school, and the foliage begins to change as Ms. M finds herself exiting the Transformations Salon on McHenry, she’s welcoming a change of hair color to celebrate autumn. There’s nothing like enjoying the change of pace with a bit of new. If you don’t have an idea how to transform yourself this season, then you can borrow a few of mine that will give you a bang for your buck!
September kicks off with an incredible treat! The 3rd welcomes the Edible Extravaganza. One of the area’s most widely anticipated events. Nowhere in the valley can you beat the deal of the experience of this night. The finest cuisine and beverages from the area’s best is paired with live entertainment on two stages.
