() – Several events in and around Fresno are having their schedules changed on Thursday due to the ongoing heatwave.Officials with the Downtown Fresno Partnership (DFP) announced on social media that Fulton StreetHop on Thursday Aug. 6, would not proceed as planned due to the forecast high temperatures.Event Manager Marissa Arreguin with the DFP says the event will come back in September, but organizers did not feel comfortable subjecting vendors to such extreme temperatures for so long.“Vendors they come earlier to set up. So they’re here at the peak times. They’re here in the food trucks. They’re here hauling stuff to and from cars,” Arreguin said. ” Overall it’s just the safety of the vendors… we want them to be in a safe and comfortable environment and attendees as well.” The Clovis Farmer’s Market, which was also scheduled to take place on Friday night, has also been canceled.Farmer’s market regulars Marley and Veleria say they were surprised and disappointed but they feel organizers made the right decision.“That’s understandable and reasonable,” Marley said.However, the Fresno Arts Council confirmed that ArtHop would still go on – and the Fresno Grizzlies have also confirmed that their game against Visalia Rawhide playing in Downtown Fresno’s Chukchansi Park was not canceled.“Major League Baseball has pretty strict guidelines on what would constitute something to be rescheduled or postponed,” Tim Slack with the Fresno Grizzlies said. “We still fall within the parameters of where it’s safe to play.”Slack also says Chukchansi Park has several amenities that can help cool visitors down, from the park’s pool, to misters, and shaded areas. </div></body>
