As the warm summer days depart from us, we cling to those last few days where we can enjoy the warmth of the great outdoors. Personally, this is the time of year where I prefer every event to be held outside than inside. I wake up every morning wondering as I open the door to the world if it will be that day. You know, the one that leaves the first frost on your windshield? Fortunately, summer seems to be clinging more to us than we are to it. That’s why this weekend you can relive the summer by joining [View Full Entry]
