The Amgen Bike Tour of California arrives to Clovis today. Some are suggesting you just take the day off so you can enjoy all the action! You make that call, but here’s all the info so you can decide.

We’re part of Stage 4 which begins in Sonora, ending this afternooon, May 16th, in Clovis at Pollasky and Bullard. The time is guestimated for mid afternoon.

 It sure was exciting back in 2009, so if we’ve learned anything – get there early to get a spot along the route so you can see well. The festival atmosphere includes food and merchandise booths too.  

Tamela Ryatt and Karen Johnston of Ryatt Johnston Gallery invite the public to their 3rd annual open house on Saturday & Sunday, May 12th & 13th from 10 am to 4 pm.

Location: 22140 Frontier Road, Clovis, CA 93619 (cross street; Auberry Road, 2 miles north of Table Mountain Casino)

Join Ryatt and Johnston as they present their photography, sculptures and feature the paintings by Fresno’s newest artist, Bibi Bielat. The open house also showcases a gorgeous succulent garden, walking trails and sitting areas with breathtaking views of Table Mountain and the surrounding foothills.

Have you been to the Appellation California Winery yet?

It’s a stunning and quaint piece of land just north of Fresno off the 99 that is a winery, gallery, tasting room and concert venue - a jewel of our region.  Take a look at the pictures and see for yourself!

They host parties and have free concerts. If you’d like to go to a concert there, but don’t want to drive – you can pick up the ApCal shuttle bus at Sierra Vista Mall in Clovis.

The Golden Eagle Charter Bus picks up and drops off on the south side of the mall near Sears Auto.

It’s $10 for a round trip.

Call Golden Eagle to get your seat. 559-275-2910.
