Weekend Events September 23 – 24

So this said to be the most beautiful weekend all summer long! The sun is shining and the weather is just perfect. I didn’t want to overload everyone with events because sometimes just taking a stroll in the park or playing at the playground is the best on days like these. However, there’s many events going on including fairs and festivals that are happening into October. As always, check the event site for delays and more information.  Have a Great Weekend!
