Alcal Arcade Contracting

Bring you inner artist out at the semi-monthly ArtHop. ArtHop provides local artists with the opportunity to showcase their work-whether traditional or contemporary-on the first and third Thursday of each month. Visit the Tower District and downtown's museums, studios, galleries and other venues to see these exhibitions. Be sure to visit the local vendors who join as well.

Spend a casual night kicking back with friends at the Hook & Ladder Lounge. Equipped with a few arcade games and several televisions, Hook & Ladder has been praised as a great little dive bar. This cozy neighborhood bar offers inexpensive drinks served by personable bartenders in a place where you can spend an evening simply relaxing. If the quieter nightlife is for you, make this the next bar you visit.

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.
