The parade began in the Tower District and ended at Fresno City College with 250 regional vendors, live music, and local performances—promoting diversity and acceptance.

A man broke into a Clovis spa Saturday at midnight when a security camera showed him throwing an object to break a glass door, taking a key, and leaving $11,000 in damage—the police responded quickly and the spa resumed operations.

The Fresno County Transportation Authority announced that Executive Director Terry Ogle will leave on July 4 for a private sector job amid ongoing efforts to renew Measure C—a half-cent sales tax that funds local transportation projects.

The Fresno County Board of Supervisors will vote on Tuesday on the Amador Plan that funds year-round staffing for the Yokuts Valley—Piedra—Blasingame—and Shaver Lake fire stations to provide emergency services from July 1 through June 30.
