Good morning, Stockton.
👋 We have an eventful next few weeks starting today. If you’re in town during Thanksgiving and into December, be sure to check out all the fun local programs taking place— from the Stockton Lantern Festival to various art and museum exhibitions.
Speaking of events, the Stockton Civic Theatre debuted its special holiday presentation of Seussical the Musical on Thursday. Its 17-show run will end on Dec. 15. The Broadway show reimagines classic characters and plotlines from Dr. Seuss’s 60-plus books, and is sure to be a highlight for Stockton families this holiday season.
On the news side, we have lots of updates related to local government rulings, so be sure to check out the stories below.
As always, we appreciate your support as we continue to bring local and state coverage to your screen. I hope to see you at any of those events in the following weeks.
