EDITOR’S NOTE

This month’s feature article is ‘The State of Cannabis in Fresno.’ However, it’s more of an overview rather than an exhaustive look. The article focuses mainly on retail stores and leaves out manufacturing and cultivation, along with a myriad of political issues that have plagued the permitting process. But detailed coverage of the whole picture of cannabis in Fresno would be impossible to do in a single article or even in a single issue.

I’ve found that most people are of the impression that since cannabis is now legal, the fight is over - but I assure you it is not. The fight simply looks different these days. Once a legal market opens in a city or state, companies from around the country swarm in for a slice of the highly profitable pie. Independent owners are locked out of the process by fees near impossible for small organizations to surmount. The potential for corruption is exponential as each city strictly limits the number of cannabis businesses allowed in their jurisdiction. Over 100 applicants fought for at least one of 21 retail permits in Fresno alone. That level of steep competition has given rise to questionable outcomes and application processes all over the country, not just here.

And yet, equity in cannabis is but one of many facets of the industry. While a fight for fairness and transparency in the application process ensues, many other areas of legalized cannabis have exploded into sub-industries with their own issues.

There are endless conversations over whether cannabis grown outdoors under the sun vs. indoors in controlled environments maximizes the plant’s properties. Debates continue to wage about whether lamps or LED lights are best - and technological advancements in lighting equipment for cultivation seem to happen rapidly. Concerns arise over the effects of mass cultivation on the environment. And a whole article could undoubtedly be dedicated to the various consumption methods and product types that have evolved over time. It’s no longer the flower or “buds” many remember - it’s shatter, wax, budder, diamonds, tinctures, or kief consumed by smoke, vaporizers, or using dab rigs. The cannabis world is massive, evolving and transforming right in front of us as our society figures out how to exist with it. My goal is to talk about all of it eventually - maybe not all at once in a single issue, but comprehensively over time. However, the focus of importance now is getting to know the cannabis businesses setting up shop in Fresno, paying attention to the promises they make, and watching to see if they’ll actually deliver on those promises. As consumers, we’re about to be inundated with options, and we must remember that we hold incredible power in choosing where and with whom to spend our money. Our decisions will ultimately decide who thrives and who will have to move on to a new city. It’s up to us to help shape a local cannabis industry that truly serves our community.

THE STATE OF CANNABIS IN FRESNO

By Lisa Talley | lisa@fresnoflyer.com

The retail cannabis industry is open for business in Fresno. However, the appeals process and delayed inspections have complicated timelines for many dispensaries to become fully operational. While the City of Fresno has ultimately awarded 20 of the available 21 retail permits - the unassigned permit remains open in District 7 - only two dispensaries have opened for business as of the end of July: The Artist Tree and Embarc.

The first round of permit approvals in early September 2021 saw an immediate appeal by city council members of five dispensaries; only one survived – Lemonnade in the Tower District (now called Dr. Green Thumbs). The results of the appeals opened the door to a second round of applications to compete for the four newly available permits. However, as soon as the city announced the next set of permit holders, city council members were quick to appeal again, leading to another public hearing process. It wasn’t until mid-December 2021 that the Office of Cannabis Oversight finally announced that Authentic 559, Embarc, and Beyond Rooted 559 would take their place among the final 21.

While those dispensaries initially appealed by select council members were certainly delayed in preparing their businesses to open, others were affected by different challenges altogether.

Robert DiVito, CEO of Element 7 in District 5 explains that their shift in the opening process results from a complex mix of both awaiting approvals from the Planning Commission and maintaining a vacant building. The dispensary has secured a location but is still waiting to hear back from the city over paperwork they submitted 10-12 weeks ago. Without the requisite approvals, Element 7 cannot begin regularly occupying the building.

“ We’d love to be open right now [but] we respect the City’s process,” says DiVito.

As Element 7 patiently waits to hear from the Planning Commission, their building remains vacant and, therefore, has attracted attention from the nearby homeless population.

“We’re doing whatever we can to work with local groups and the homeless as individuals as we understand the complexities of the issue locally,” expresses DiVito.

As setbacks and other issues mount, Element 7 is still excited about their grand opening – even if the exact date is still unclear.

“ We love launching new stores and recently had some wonderful events take place around our Firebaugh and Mendota stores. Rest assured, any event [we host] will include entertainment, local vendors and partners, community engagement, and amazing deals and special discounts you will only find at Element 7 Fresno,” beams DiVito.

Retail cannabis is a highly regulated industry. Many cities create extensive municipal codes that strictly outline security and safety requirements, daily inventory tracking, and other detailed procedures unique to cannabis. Fresno is no different, nor is it more restrictive. Much of Fresno’s municipal code regarding commercial cannabis mirrors that of other cities – including requiring a “buzz-in” mechanical entrance to a lobby separate from the sales floor, armed security, and storing cannabis products in a locked vault. And while cities enact rigorous regulations, dispensaries must also ensure they meet requirements at the state level. Retail cannabis stores must satisfy an extensive checklist by obtaining approval from

state and local governments throughout the multiple stages of the build-out process. Winning a permit in any city is merely the beginning, and dispensaries face many hurdles before making it to opening day. It’s no wonder that in Fresno, grand openings are currently few and far between.

However, undeterred by the loss of their second permit in the Tower District, The Artist Tree has rocketed through their store’s build-out, beating everyone else to the finish line and officially opening their doors on July 11. Located at Palm and Nees, The Artist Tree has been pleased with the response from the community. Co-owner and co-founder Lauren Fontein states they’ve had an overwhelmingly positive turnout thus far.

A combination of art and cannabis, The Artist Tree proclaims to highlight the natural synergy between the two by doubling their sales floor as an art gallery. Every three months, The Artist Tree rotates its exhibit to showcase a new local artist and has even become an official Arthop venue. All proceeds from the sale of any artwork go back to the artist. So, customers can explore both art

and an extensive collection of more than 800 cannabis products.

While The Artist Tree holds title as the first Fresno dispensary to open, others are soon to follow. Fresnans can expect to see more cannabis storefronts popping up one by one over the next few months as management teams overcome setbacks. It may not have been the explosion everyone hoped to see, but a thriving new industry in California’s fifth largest city is well on its way.

SOCIAL EQUITY CANNABIS

As Fresno begins to blossom as a competitor in this emerging market, it is crucial that consumers remember why and how legalized cannabis ever became possible in the first place.

For decades, the government waged war on drugs that was massively unsuccessful while negatively and disproportionately

Legislators shouldn’t shut down ways to help Californians get legal help

By David Freeman Engstrom &

Theend of another legislative session in Sacramento is an opportunity to reflect on questions many are asking these days: How well is our democracy working? When we elect representatives, do they pass laws that help us solve our problems?

Though we are relative newcomers to how Sacramento works, our experience on an important issue facing Californians — access to justice — raises concerns. There is still time for judiciary committee chairs Assemblymember Mark Stone and state Sen. Tom Umberg to fix a troubling bill.

Assembly Bill 2958 would harm, not help, Californians.

For the past year, we and others have been tasked by the State Bar of California trustees with designing a pilot program to spur innovation in the delivery of legal services.

Innovation is desperately needed. Studies find that 85% of Californians get no help or plainly inadequate help for their legal problems. This includes millions of middle-income residents and small businesses, not just poor people. Far too many Californians suffer when they must navigate the legal system alone on child custody issues and end-of-life planning, or square off against lawyered-up debt collectors and landlords.

The goal of a pilot program would be to create a regulatory “sandbox” in which legal-services providers can build out promising new delivery models under close scruti-

ny from regulators. Utah and Arizona, along with England and Wales, have adopted similar reforms, with promising results.

But last month, just days before a hearing, the judiciary committees added amendments to the state bar’s annual fee bill that would all but kill the sandbox idea. After only brief discussion, the bill passed out of committee, and it is slated to go to the floor this month.

The whole point of a sandbox is to test smart ways to relax a few of the highly restrictive rules around legal service provision, such as the rule that only lawyers can provide legal advice, or that lawyers cannot partner with other professionals. Under California rules, even lawyers are limited in their ability to try out promising new approaches that might benefit consumers.

The amended bill takes these reforms off the table, muzzling the expert judges, lawyers and academics on the working group. It says: You can consider anything you want except everything you were considering, and everything that might make a difference to everyday Californians.

We lead Stanford research teams that study the innovations that have emerged from reforms in Utah and Arizona. What has emerged? New, affordable ways to access legal help.

These innovations include free support for domestic violence victims seeking a restraining order; technology-enabled bilingual legal help for Latino small businesses; low-cost subscription services that allow small-business owners to call a lawyer with questions; and help with expungement of criminal records for people seeking a second chance. Consumer complaints have been negligible and easily addressed.

None of these pioneering approaches could so much as be discussed by the working group under the California bill’s new limits.

Many Californians, neither wealthy enough to pay a lawyer $300 an hour nor poor enough to qualify for legal aid, would benefit from these innovative services. They are teachers, nurses and grocery store workers. They own restaurants, nail salons and landscaping businesses. All of them deserve help with issues affecting their lives and livelihoods.

They deser ve legislators who want more information — not less — about policies that might help them. And most important, they deserve legislators who are on their side.

We Are The Ones Killing Us

By I. smiley G. Calderón | smileygcalderon@gmail.com

Lastmonth, we discussed how legal and illegal guns terrorize our communities. We discussed firearms in America, whether acquired legally or illegally and how they can (and often) be used for egregious and life-altering crimes. Unfortunately, tragic mass shootings are much too commonplace and have recently plagued our nation. But of course, the guns aren’t doing the damage or causing the carnage all by themselves.

We are the ones who are killing us.

This fact must remain at the forefront of this gun discussion so that we don’t solely focus on or blame inanimate objects for the American gun violence problem. Instead, the blame for illegal gun violence should always fall squarely on the shoulders of people — on the shooter, the gun manufacturer, the legislator who legalizes firearms, the judges who sanction them, the politicians and lobbyists who keep access to high-powered guns lawful — on all of us. The reality is that we live in a subconsciously violent society that celebrates gun violence everywhere — in our movies and TV shows. It is ubiquitous in our entertainment — a core American attribute and a key component of our unique culture. It’s wholeheartedly American to experience gun violence in one way or another.

Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.

Maybe we’ve had so many mass shootings every week this year because Americans are more inherently violent than the rest of the world. It’s undoubtedly true that gun violence pales elsewhere in the developed world. A recent Bloomberg analysis of worldwide gun violence noted that “Mass shootings… feel unique to America.” Still, it also honed in on one significant fact about our great nation - the U.S. is “...where there are more civilian-owned guns than people.”

People with guns kill people.

Last month, we acknowledged that there couldn’t be any gun violence without guns. Yet, we also recognized that America would never completely ban or outlaw civil-

ian-owned guns. Plus, even if the government completely illegalized firearms, criminals would still find a way to get them. There would always be gun-related deaths, even in a “gun-free” land. But there wouldn’t be the kind of mass shootings that are happening right now all over the country, every day. The typical criminal is not doing these mass shootings. There is no money or incentive involved. When it comes to mass shootings, organized crime isn’t the problem.

Mass shootings happen when a deranged or spiteful person with a firearm purposefully decides to end other people’s lives. The only difference between the United States and most of the world is that, in most developed nations, access to purchasing or owning guns is highly restricted. And the ability to acquire high-powered assault weapons is unheard of—an impossible thought for a civilian. In some countries, like Japan or South Korea, gun violence almost never happens. And in other countries where limited gun ownership is legal, even if the gun owner becomes deranged or spiteful enough to kill many people, he (assuming he’s male, which is statistically probable) wouldn’t be able to do it. Without a semiautomatic assault rifle, he would be limited in the carnage he could effect. But, equipped with a semiautomatic or automatic weapon, he becomes equivalent to a small army of one. Sometimes, the police are outgunned or are too late to stop a bloodbath in these situations. With these kinds of weapons of mass destruction easily in the hands of Americans, it’s no surprise they’re used.

People

People killing people is nothing new. How efficiently and quickly a person can do it, however, is what has changed throughout civilization. Wielding the potent power of a high-powered assault weapon is almost godlike and absolutely terrifying. Therefore, access to these weapons needs to be drastically curtailed, if not banned entirely in our society, to prevent further massacres. This reasoning is why, finally, after decades of countless avoidable gun-related tragedies,

the recent news that Congress has worked together to enact a series of crucial gun reform laws is promising yet long overdue. After President Biden signed the reforms into law in late June, he acknowledged, “While this bill doesn’t do everything I want, it does include actions I’ve long called for that are going to save lives ... God willing, it’s going to save a lot of lives.”

The Gun Safety Bill, among other things, expands background checks on people 21 and younger. However, to no one’s surprise, the National Rifle Association staunchly opposed it. “This legislation can be abused to restrict lawful gun purchases, infringe upon the rights of law-abiding Americans, and use federal dollars to fund gun control measures being adopted by state and local politicians,” they said in a statement. The new bill also allows states to enforce ‘red flag’ laws that permit the confiscation and removal of firearms from any individual found by a judge to be too dangerous to possess them. It also provides millions of dollars of support for state intervention systems like mental health and drug programs.

One of the significant changes in the new gun legislation addressed the socalled ‘boyfriend loophole.’ This loophole allowed a domestic abuser not living with or not married to his girlfriend to still legally possess a firearm (the law had only prohibited the possession of a gun of a domestic abuser who lived with or was married to the victim of abuse). This is a breakthrough in gun reform, but is it enough? As the new law is written, it still gives the right to own a gun back to domestic abusers after five years of a clean record. ‘Firearm-philic’ legislators like Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas, who helped negotiate the loophole’s new conditions, see gun ownership as a pinnacle of American life. “This is an incentive, I think, for people who have made a mistake, committed domestic violence, and received a misdemeanor conviction, to straighten up their act and not repeat it,” he said about allowing convicted abusers to own and possess a firearm again legally. However, the prob-

the ultimate in self-care

By Nancy Zanicchi-Bobb newbeginningconsulting11@gmail.com

Self-care means many things to different people – it’s personalized, as it should be. Self-care for one person may not be the same for another. Therefore, it is important to identify your individual needs and create a self-care guide. Be patient in figuring out those needs, and remember that all life transitions take time. We are all a work in progress. The journey you’re on was made just for you, and it is, in large part, what makes you unique.

What is self-care to you? Let’s begin with:

• Health Boundaries

• Not being responsible for other reactions

• Knowing your value and self-worth is #1

• Remember the golden rule - treat everyone the way you want to be treated

• Respecting yourself with kindness and virtue

• Moral compass

• It’s OK not to like everyone; life isn’t a popularity contest

• It’s OK if someone doesn’t like you; if the synchronicity isn’t there, move on

• Keep your life private

• Discover what you love about yourself

• Connect with “the Universe” and seek what you know to be true

The closer you are to your intuitive ener-

gy, the more fulfilled and complete you will feel. Listen to it when your body tells you something is off; that connection, that feeling of alertness, is a builtin gift. Listen to its guidance because it is never wrong.

Social media brings with it much anxiety. Do you want to change something in your daily routine that is outside visiting social media?

• Walk through a bookstore, where there are tons of great books to discover

• Visit a toy section in a department store and explore your inner child.

• Open a cookbook and re-visit a favorite recipe from childhood.

• Visit a craft store and begin a new project; create from your soul.

• Write in a journal and personalize it with a wish list.

• Make a 5-year timeline. “In 5 years, I want to accomplish…” Write how you will get there and how you will reasonably reach that life milestone

• Plant a vegetable garden, nurture it daily, then savor the work you sow. The earth and soil are healing elements.

When anxiety sets in, so does self-doubt, fear, worry, and all the past judgment we accumulate and label ourselves with. Let it go. You are #1 and don’t need anyone to remind you of this. You are the master of you, and only you consent to how you feel. Believe in yourself.

Never compare yourself to someone else. There is only one you.

Welcome August; the summer is in full swing! Grab a popsicle and a glass of iced sweet tea, and have a sunshiny day!

impacting Black and Brown communities. Yet, during cannabis criminalization, cannabis advocates continued to innovate and pioneer new cultivation and manufacturing techniques that are at the foundation of the current industry. Their research, work, and advocacy paved the way. However, rather than celebrate them, many were incarcerated and served/continue to serve extensive sentences for doing the same thing that allows others to accumulate wealth today.

Recognizing the inequity and ensuring compliance with the voter-approved Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), the State of California implemented the Cannabis Equity Grants Program for Local Jurisdictions. The program’s purpose and intent are to further AUMA’s “calls for regulating cannabis in a way that reduces barriers to entry into the legal, regulated market.” Local municipalities may apply for funding that aims to help support social equity applicants and licensees in their jurisdiction. The City of Fresno successfully obtained a $1.2 million grant for the 2020-21 fiscal year.

Cities that allow commercial cannabis often have exorbitant application fees that are nonrefundable. The City of Fresno requires nearly $8,000 for its application fee and an additional $13,391 for a Conditional Use Permit once a business obtains preliminary approval. These costs do not consider the building rentals an applicant must pay while it awaits the city’s decision or the fees associated with obtaining the requisite state license. Such fees create barriers that ensure only large companies can compete.

Social equity programs are designed to level the playing field by waiving or significantly reducing fees and allowing equal access to a highly lucrative market. The program is typically reserved for those from

lem with these relaxed regulations is that they legally enable abusers and ultimately still endanger society. If the goal is to reduce gun violence, less access to guns should be the answer, especially for known abusers.

The deeper we dig into our American gun violence epidemic, the more clear it is that we are divided. We are a divided

communities historically impacted by the War on Drugs, with a past conviction for a cannabis crime, or both. The City of Fresno has reserved at least three of the 21 permits for social equity applicants, but no more than six. So far, the city has awarded five permits to social equity dispensaries: Fresno Canna Co., Traditional Fresno, Viola Fresno, Beyond Rooted 559, and Roeding Leaf.

Still, more social equity cannabis businesses are expected to arrive under the ‘microbusiness’ and ‘cultivation’ license designations. The 21 permits at the center of the Fresno dispensary conversation refer only to storefronts. More permits are available to cultivators, manufacturers, testing facilities,

The People’s Fresno is passionate about investing and uplifting disadvantaged communities, especially through the legalized cannabis market.

“ We’ve always understood [cannabis’] leverage as an economic development tool as well as its medicinal powers,” explains The People’s Fresno. “We believe our local communities most impacted by the War on Drugs and its generational damage should be leading both the direction of funds [and the] participation and profits in this industry.”

For The People’s Fresno, the “social equity” title is more than just about getting a foot in the door - it’s about rebuilding communities. The People’s Fresno plans to create pathways that allow access to capital through small innovative programs that promote community engagement and upliftment. Ten percent of their net profits will go towards funding these initiatives.

and microbusinesses (small operations seeking to cultivate, manufacture, and sell products under one roof). The People’s Fresno is one such social equity applicant that successfully obtained preliminary approval for a microbusiness license.

Consisting of Cesar Casamayor, Gidai Maaza, and Shawn Robinson, the team is also awaiting approvals from the city and Planning Commission before becoming operational, but hope to begin the hiring process within 6-8 months. Once open, The People’s Fresno will cultivate (grow) cannabis and provide packaged flower, pre-rolls, and trim (stem and leaves) for soil fertilization that will be available locally and statewide.

Soon, Fresnans and Central Valley residents will have an expansive catalog of cannabis brands, storefronts, and products vying for their attention. However, consumers, just as with most anything else, can choose how and where to spend their well-earned money. For those concerned with where their money will go and what it will help to support, The People’s Fresno explains what it means to choose a social equity brand or business:

“It means to pay homage to the folks who lived and died for this plant, and who passed along deep knowledge of the plant to the next generation … it means social and economic justice … giving those who’ve been disparately impacted by the War on Drugs an opportunity to build wealth for their families and communities.”

Sweet Summer Treats that Beat the Heat

(Family Features) Whether your family’s ideal summer day consists of swimming, hiking, biking or simply enjoying the sunshine, all that time in the heat calls for a sweet way to cool off. It’s hard to beat a homemade treat loaded with favorite summertime flavors that’s as cold and creamy as it is sweet and delicious.

For a lighter, better-for-you solution, this Watermelon Gelato has about half the fat and fewer calories than traditional ice cream but with equally mouthwatering flavor. In fact, the word “gelato” means “ice cream” in Italian, and while the two frozen desserts have much in common, gelato is typically lower in fat with more density.

If you’re looking for an added touch of tastiness, try adding a few chocolate chips to the mix in the last few minutes of churning in your ice cream maker, or simply add some on top before serving.

When a summer weekend offers opportunities for morning kitchen lessons with the kiddos, they can help measure ingredients for Watermelon Ice Cream Bars and watch the magic happen as you mix up a watermelon curd, homemade crust and whipped cream. Once your creation freezes completely throughout the day, turn out and cut into bars for a cold afternoon treat following all that fun in the sun.

While sweet and tasty, these desserts also provide a bite of hydration with the power of watermelon, which is 92% water for a delicious way to rehydrate. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, daily fluid intake is defined as the amount of water consumed from foods, plain drinking water and other beverages, meaning you don’t have to rely only on what you drink to meet your fluid needs.

Because what you eat also provides a significant portion of daily fluids, fruits

and vegetables like watermelon can help you and your family stay hydrated for whatever summer days bring your way.

Brad Jaurique: The Man Behind the Music

By Dave Fountinelle

September is almost here, and that means the annual Berner concert at Fresno’s Chukchansi Park is less than a month away. At last year’s concert, the Cookies founder was joined by Bay Area legend E-40, NWA’s DJ Yella, and Lil Eazy E, son of NWA founder Eric “Eazy E” Wright. But before the sold-out crowd could even finish making their way out of the downtown stadium, Brad Jaurique was already thinking about the next event on his calendar.

For over 12 years, Brad Jaurique has been bringing some of the hottest R&B and Hip Hop stars to Fresno. Born and raised in Fresno, Jaurique takes pride in the city he calls home. But, for Jaurique, bringing big-name national acts to town is more than just his business; it’s a way for him to give back to the community and the culture that made it all possible.

Chukchansi Park is where Brad Jaurique Promotions began. In 2010, Jaurique met fellow Fresnan and 90’s R&B star Timmy T, who introduced him to Rick Mirigian. Mirigian was managing the career of boxer Jose Ramirez and was in Fresno promoting a new nightclub called “The Penthouse,” located in the 600 club at Grizzly Stadium. Mirigian gave Jaurique his start in the business, promoting events at The Penthouse. Soon, Mirigian let Jaurique start booking his own events every Friday night. Mirigian mentored Jaurique and taught him the ins and outs of promotion and booking events. Together they produced several concerts, events, and afterparties for the nightclub.

The Penthouse closed its doors in 2011, and Jaurique began working with Club Rome. There, he continued to promote concerts and events, bringing in big-name acts including Too Short, E-40, Baby Bash, Jo Koy, 112, and more. Jaurique also promoted independent events at Fresno’s Woodward Park, Warnors Theater, and several small clubs in

Tulare and Visalia.

In 2013, the City of Fresno approached Jaurique to help them put together a plan to attract marquee promoters from all over the country to bring A-list entertainment to the Selland Arena, Save Mart Center, and local tribal casinos like the Tachi Palace. Jaurique helped put together lineups, design marketing campaigns, and run production. His hard work would lead

brought Latin Hip Hop legends

A Lighter Shade of Brown to Tioga Sequoia Brewer There, he was given the honor of presenting the group with a proclamation from the city, naming the date of the concert as “Lighter Shade of Brown Day.”

Jaurique followed that up by promoting two of the highest-at-

Jaurique’s next concert will be the annual Berner concert at Chukchansi Park. This year, the Cookies CEO and Forbes richest legal cannabis mogul will be joined by another Bay Area icon, Too Short, along with legendary rapper/producer DJ Quik. Nhale - the son of legendary Death Row Records artist, the late Nate Dogg - will open the show along with rapper and Cookies co-founder, Stinje. Also on the

in a smaller market makes selling out concerts more difficult. Additionally, Los Angeles and the Bay Area are popular tourist spots, meaning concertgoers are more likely to travel to see shows there and then stay to visit other attractions. Most Fresno concert attendees live locally, go to see the show, and then go back home afterward. Fewer people are willing to travel to Fresno just to see a show and nothing else means that selling out shows here is much harder to do, except for superstar acts like Drake, Kanye, or Chris Stapleton.

Jaurique isn’t discouraged, however. Rather than chase the easy money by moving to one of the big market cities, Jaurique chooses to stay loyal to his city and the people who have supported him his entire career.

“I’m always working with promoters, managers, and record labels to bring big name acts to Fresno,” Jaurique explains.

to a job running promotions for the Tachi Palace from 2016 to 2019. There, Jaurique produced everything from the annual car show, to a Selena tribute concert, to the popular “Ladies Night Out” concert series.

The COVID pandemic brought the entertainment world to a screeching halt less than a year later. As a result, Jaurique couldn’t produce another concert until 2021. During that time, Jaurique reflected on his Downtown Fresno roots and wanted to focus the next chapter of his career on the place and the people where it all began. So, in July 2021, Jaurique again partnered with Chukchansi Park to host a stop on Snow Tha Product’s US Tour. The show not only sold out, but it was also the biggest turnout of the entire tour. A month later, Jaurique

tended shows at the 2021 Big Fresno Fair: “Ladies Night Out,” featuring Bell Biv Devoe and Mya, and Kumbia Kings with Chris Perez. Then, in October, Jaurique closed the year by bringing Ginuwine to headline the Fresno Grizzlies’ “Taco Truck Throwdown.”

Brad Jaurique Promotions kicked off 2022 with a bang, promoting another hugely successful “Ladies Night Out” concert. This time, fans packed the Save Mart Center to see Keith Sweat, 112, Frankie J, Amanda Perez, and Soul for Real rock the house. Jaurique followed that up with the June “Latin Legends” concert that he produced along with rap mogul and Death Row Records CEO Snoop Dogg.

lineup will be three bouts from the “Chin Check” slap fighting championship.

In 2014, when Jaurique first brought Berner to Fresno’s Woodward Park, the concertdubbed the “Fresno Smokeout” stirred up a lot of controversy among concerned moms. Much has changed in the cannabis industry and the city since then. Berner’s 2021 concert went on without any protest. As Fresno’s first batch of recreational cannabis dispensaries begins to open, Jaurique is optimistic that this year’s concert will be equally trouble-free.

Promoting shows in Fresno presents challenges that separate it from California’s big markets of Los Angeles and the Bay Area. Being

Jaurique will be ringing in the fall season with two shows at this year’s Big Fresno Fair. The first is another “Ladies Night Out” concert featuring Ashanti and Baby Bash. The second is “Cruising the Souldies,” featuring Russell Thompkins and the New Stylistics, along with Cota, hosted by Danny Trejo. Closing out the year will be some big surprises that Jaurique plans to share as soon as the details are finalized.

Looking for ward to 2023, Jaurique teases “exciting things” that will be announced soon.

“ We really need Fresno and the Central Valley to continue supporting us so that we can keep bringing bigger and bigger shows of all genres to our city,” Jaurique says. “It’s their loyalty and support that has made all of this possible, and the best is yet to come.”
