Uncover how Hanford's Winter Wonderland isn't just a seasonal delight but a powerful catalyst for economic growth and community connection. Join us as we explore the transformative role this event plays in the region, drawing over 107,000 visitors and capturing attention far beyond our city limits. With insights from the remarkable Parks and Community Services Director Brad Albert and City Manager Mario Cifuentez, we'll share how innovative tools like Placer AI are revolutionizing our approach to visitor data, leading to strategic marketing moves and attracting new retailers and restaurants to our vibrant community.
Peek behind the curtain of Hanford's winter festivities and meet the dedicated team making it all possible. Ice rink managers Nikki Tovar and Maya Gomez, along with their hard working crew, are key players in creating magical experiences like Santa’s Christmas Eve reading and Freddie the fire truck’s light tours. Discover how last year’s financial success is allowing us to reinvest in infrastructure and equipment, ensuring even more exciting opportunities for community engagement. And as we gear up for the Hanford Civic Auditorium's 100th anniversary in 2025, the future looks bright for our city's cultural landscape.
Don't miss out on the festive happenings and community initiatives that make Hanford a special place to call home.
