For that rainy day... Ok, not every day will be a perfect weather day, that’s how we keep everything so green! So what do you do on that day when it’s raining? Two things immediately come to mind. It’s the perfect day for shopping. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the treasures to be found in our many one-of-a-kind locally owned stores. And the museums (Pages 6 & 7) offer hours of discovery.
visit one of our Country bars, roadhouses or aN old fasioned saloon!
Got to keep the kids entertained? Try bowling, or a movie, or one of our community libraries. Here’s one you might not have considered…coffee shops. Every one of them has an assortment of board games waiting for you along with those aromatic coffee blends and specialty sandwich fare all in a comfortable family friendly setting. And on those hot summer afternoons when you wish you had a pool…guess what, we’ve got those too. Community pools and family aquatic centers are open to everyone. Splash away!
