Strap on your cowboy boots and see how long you can hang in there at the Clovis Rodeo. Bucking broncos not your style? The annual April festival features more than just cattle and horses. Test your roping skills, watch the parade or join everyone on the dance floor for a night to remember.
Get fresh fruit and veggies grown with minimal chemical and pesticide use from Sumner Peck Ranch, just a few minutes outside of Fresno. Purchase from the fruit stands or go out into the fields and choose your own. Pick a variety of in-season foods including cherries, grapes, oranges, apples, jalapenos, lettuce, peppers, squash or pecans. Honey from the farm's hives is also available.
Visit Fresno County's first park. Kearney Park is 225 acres and offers picnic and outdoor sports facilities in its day-use areas. Play a game of soccer, test your skills at horseshoe, hit a few balls at the softball and baseball fields or let the children have fun on the playground. When the heat's too much, visit the Kearney Mansion Museum for some educational fun and air conditioning.
