In 1885 Hans Jacob Jepsen, great-grandfather of Howard Hammond traveled to America from Denmark on the immigrant ship “Moravia.” Within a few years, he settled in Easton, CA and became the pioneer of Hammond family grape farming. Today three generations of Hammonds continue the farming heritage in Fresno, CA and through the production of Moravia wines.

Shinzen Friendship Garden
Shinzen Friendship Garden is a beautiful and serene 5-acre Japanese Garden located within Woodward Park in the City of Fresno, California. It is dedicated to Fresno's Sister City Kochi, Japan, as a symbol of friendship and international brotherhood, and for the promotion of cultural relations between the two cities.
The garden includes stream beds with waterfalls, seven bridges (including the stone double-moon bridge for double good luck), and a Koi Pond. Paved pathways lead you through the Spring Section where azaleas, camellias, crabapples, irises, flowering cherries and plums are a viewer's delight. The cooling waters of the Koi Pond are the centerpiece of the Summer Section. Tulip trees, Chinese pistache and tallow trees display their bright fall colors in the Autumn Section. A large waterfall, pines and evergreens dominate the Winter Section.

The White Horse Inn is located in the Sierra foothills, at the gateway to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.

Creative Cake Toppers
The wedding cake topper was dominant at American weddings in the mid-1900s where it represented togetherness. Today, these figurines are often part of the couple's decorative motif or wedding reception style.
Traditionally the bride and groom were depicted in the formal attire, with the bride in a white wedding dress, complete with veil, and the groom in a black suit, today there are many more creative and progressive designs available.
