Summer Slump Cure
Events help residents squeeze more fun and sun into the remaining days of summer.
The days of summer seem to pass at an accelerated speed. Though it’s still July, I’ve begun to lament the end of summer. I know I’m not the only one.
Well, my fellow sun adorers, I have a plan. Let’s ignore the obnoxious back-to-school store displays, and our harbored winter boots, and bask in the remaining weeks of summer.
There are plenty of local family-friendly activities left to enjoy this season.
