Ripon Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyer

One thing you cannot fail to do on a visit to Ripon is tasting some California almonds. As long as droughts do not undermine the local agriculture of Ripon, almonds should be plentiful.

If you happen to be around or passing by the area in February, consider stopping for the annual Almond Blossom Festival, which is the big event each year in this small community located in the middle of the San Joaquin Valley. The location along the Stanislaus River makes it the perfect place for families to go fishing and river rafting. Then there is Mavis Stouffer Park, right off of the Stanislaus River, which offers residents and visitors of Ripon ball fields, picnic facilities, and a gazebo residents can rent for special occasions.
