Happy Memorial Day! The 99 days of summer are officially underway! Can't you just hear Will Smith singing Summertime? I sure can! Last week I gave you my suggested timeline for buying a home before school starts again in August. Believe it or not, even when you are buying a home there is still time for some fun! Luckily between now and Labor Day there will be plenty of opportunities to have fun in the Oklahoma City metro.

Here's a list of 99 things (Memorial Day through Labor Day) to do in and around Edmond this summer. My list is a combination of events for kids, family and adults. Keep in mind some may require registration in advance. Have a fun filled summer!
