Last week was a little quiet with all the preparations for the spectacular Fourth of July event coming up. School is out (traditional schools) and the kids were EVERYWHERE! The Holding Park Pool, the skateboard park at The Factory, Jelly Beans, etc.
This week is just as low key - the calm before the storm so to speak! Between the Golf Tournament and the Picnic at the Farmers Market you will be sure to find something!
