Greetings!


How is it possible that the 4th of July is right around the corner?!  Summer is flying - and we trust you and your kids are making the most of these long, lazy days.

Many thanks to staffer Lisa Whelpley for compiling a list of area 4th of July parades, concerts, festivals and Fireworks Celebrations as well as updating our fabulous What's Happening Events Calendar. 


water park guide With the temps climbing this week, a water park might be in your future.  Special thanks to staffer Kari Thevenot who maintains our regional Outdoor Water Park Guide. This is a great resource if you are looking for a day trip or an overnight get-away with the kids.

Have fun, and look for our next e-Update on July 18th.
