After serving the Northern California cannabis market with three successful HOF events, event creator Dani Damanstein realized the potential and need for a Southern California-based show.
Thanks to the unwavering support of the Cathedral City City Council, the collaborative efforts of the Economic Develop ment, Planning, Engineering, Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments , and Mr. Damanstein ’s diligence, Southern California’s first HOF event was successfully held in our City on December 8th and 9th.
Tonight, the Economic Development Department and Mr. Diamanstrein will provide a brief recap of the event and discuss what the event brought to both the City’s and the Valley’s cannabis industry as well the Cathedral City Senior Center.
