August has arrived as we head into back to school season and the end of summer. It’s a bittersweet transition as evenings get cooler, the smell in the air begins to change, and we’re bombarded with pumpkin everything. But, that doesn’t mean our events and activities are coming to an end quite yet! We’ve got lots of fun things for the entire family going on now through October. This year we’re resurrecting some old events (exciting!), have returning favorites, plus mountain activities continuing through foliage season. So don’t worry that summer is coming to an end. Honestly, we’re getting excited for winter anyway. But we’re still going to celebrate the end of warm weather and embrace the changing of the seasons.
