Tomorrow marks the end of most camps in our area. And schools resume two weeks from today. For those looking to make the most of the last days of summer I’ve compiled links to help.
But you don’t have to be a kid to enjoy all the summer fun in our area.
Most of these are stories from this summer that you may have missed. A few are topics I planned to cover, but never managed to this year.
