We hope everyone is doing well. It’s hard to believe this is the last weekend of July. It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating the 4th. We only have three more weekends before the kids go back to school. So, I have compiled a wonderful list of things to do to make each moment until then memorable for both adults and children. 

• First we have our beloved town Musician Adam Hull, who will be playing for the children at our local library this Friday, July 30th, 2021 at 10:30 am. Adam is a great inspiration for the kids to follow their dreams as well as learn. He is a former school teacher and music teacher.
