Get Out Weekend Planner
The end of the short work week is nigh, and there's plenty to do around town this weekend.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year; our grills are primed, vacations loom on the horizon, and, let’s admit it, we all look better with a tan. To top that off, it’s almost the weekend again.
To make it easy on you, we’ve compiled our top five favorite local excuses to not weed the garden or clean out the cooler from the Fourth of July picnic. Read ‘em and weep.
As always, remember to check in next week when we refresh the Get Out Weekend Planner and be sure to tell us what you think in the comments section below or add your own event to the Calendar.
