Hanford Insider: News, Events, Sports, and the wonder of the Children's Storybook Garden & Museum

Send me a text and give me feedback on this episode! Discover the latest heartbeat of Hanford with your host, Rob Bentley, on the Hanford Insider. We're rolling out the red carpet for the city's sleek new digital front porch and taking a breather on City Council meetings, but only to spruce up our beloved auditorium. Take a virtual bow with Gary Feinstein, our local hero earning the Distinguished Citizenship Award. But hold onto your hats, because we've also got a calendar chock-full of local happenings: from the aroma of food truck fare to the flair of high school theater, and from vibrant cultural ceremonies to the high spirits of charity events—this episode is your golden ticket to the community's lively soul. This week's special guest, Kaitlin Sheets, the Children's Storybook Garden and Museum's Executive Director, leads us through a magical transformation that turns pages into play spaces. You won't want to miss the delightful details of the upcoming Farm Day event; imagine the chuckles as children meet Trisha Stone Shoemaker's entertaining chickens! And we're not just spectators in this community—no sir! We're calling all hands on deck for volunteers to nurture the growth of Hanford's heart. So, as we close the curtain with a triumphant cheer for the Hanford High baseball team, remember, this episode isn't just about catching up—it's about getting caught up in the joy of our town's big spirit.
