• Winter Wonderland ... in Selma? (hanfordsentinel.com) — Hanford's Winter Wonderland has become such a draw that Selma is planning its own ice rink and holiday experience modeled after Hanford's success. Selma officials and residents openly praise the memories and downtown buzz Hanford's event creates, even as they debate the $300,000 price tag for their version. Hanford leaders say they'll keep innovating to ensure Civic Park's holiday charm remains unique.
