SUMMARY OF EFFORTS (Continued)

story with our state partners. We started the event with a performance by our friends at Stockton Soul, a Black Soul Orchestra sharing their love of music and education with the community, and ended the event with the launch of our Fantastic 4 Stockton campaign. The event was a great success, and we always appreciate an opportunity to share our passion with others who will enthusiastically spread our mission.

Fantastic 4 Stockton Campaign

Stockton can always use some positive media coverage, and that is exactly why we launched the Fantastic 4 Stockton campaign. We launched a petition to get Marvel to feature Stockton, the Stan Lee-appointed home of the Fantastic Four, in the upcoming blockbuster film. With the help of the Mayor, Al Greco, Joe Field, and the comic-nerd Visit Stockton team, we launched our petition, accompanied by an awesome video, to excite the community and build comradery around the city’s shared passion for the Fantastic Four story and love of Stockton. Below is a sample of the media coverage we received around the campaign, as well as some of the comments we saw on our petition page.

Feast at the Fox

160 SUBSCRIBERS

Fest at the Fox, our signature farm-to-fork dinner under the marquee of the Bob Hope Theatre, is an annual fundraiser for the Delta College Culinary Arts Program. We are still finalizing the amount of funding raised for Delta, but we welcomed 176 guests, including four major program sponsors and 10 table sponsors. 7 Delta College professors were the featured chefs of the event, and 36 student chefs assisted with preparation and execution. The event was a great success, even with a slight drizzle, and we can’t wait to continue reimagining the event for years to come!

Announcement: We moved offices!

We are so excited to announce our office move to the historic Sperry Building at 146 W. Weber Ave. on the Downtown Stockton Waterfront. We were bursting at the seams in our last building, and we are thrilled to better serve our visitors at our new street-level location (with tons of parking!). Come visit us anytime Monday – Friday, 8 AM – 4 PM to pick up some Stockton merch, visitor information, and check out our new digs.
