Good morning, Stockton.
👋 There’s lots of events happening around the city as we head further into December.
If you have time, check out the Puerto Rican Food, Art & Music Festival at Hatch Workshop, or catch National Geographic’s ocean-themed experience at the Haggin Museum.
The Lincoln Center is also hosting a Coat and Sock Drive throughout the month to help those in need during the winter. If you have new or slightly used winter wear that you no longer need, head over to the Lincoln Center and drop them off at any designated donation area.
As always, thank you for your support.
