PETE'S PICK: GET OUTSIDE, THEN HAVE A LOCAL BREW
 It's American Craft Beer Week, so let's raise a pint and give a toast to the good old outdoors! There nothing like capping off a day of playing outside better than sharing a pint (or two) with your friends. So get your friends together, get outside and explore, and then head to one of the region's local breweries to celebrate American Craft Beer Week.
And mark your calendar now for Big Lick Beertopia (June 8) and Microfestivus (Aug. 10).
Get outside!
