OH(io) it's August!
August, for me, is bittersweet. It is the end of summer, my son's birthday and the start of a new school year. And, the fun free events of July have dwindled so this month's free events are limited but still fun and I tacked on the festival that look interesting at the end.If you know of anything interesting for September or want to add to this list feel free to comment.
Enjoy and hope to see you out and around our fantastic Northeast Ohio area!
