By monnibo | Published: June 15, 2012

In the next two weeks there is an extraordinary number of community events taking place. Guess that means summer festival season is underway. Now if the weather can just get with the program, that’d be great. Thanks. Anyway, here are some of the things I’m looking forward to (some of which overlap! Oh no!)
