Summer Happenings...

I've had several requests to compile a list of local activities, classes, workshops, programs, and places to see/visit over the summer. I will try to exhaust the possibilities in time, so if there is something that I leave out, please leave a comment, email, or call, and I will get it added. Thanks!
