The town grew from a railroad siding to a lasting legacy through her efforts.
Fresno-raised Connor Barton returns home to preview his musical comedy 'Mrs. Doubtfire' at the William Saroyan Theatre on May 26-27.
The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. with ticket prices starting at about $50 & the show exploring timeless family themes.
🌲 Environment
State wildlife officials are warning boaters at Millerton Lake as summer arrives, urging them to clean, drain, and dry equipment to stop the spread of invasive golden mussels — which can damage boats and infrastructure.
Boaters are advised to report any mussel sightings to the managing agency of the water body.
