summertime to-do’s

As the hot weather comes to a close (soon, we promise), so do the long, lazy days of summer. Take part in these great outdoor activities before the upcoming time change next month! Use your time wisely.

› Go for a family bike ride. A trip around the neighborhood sans the phones is the way to go.

› Wash the car. Soon, it may be dark when you get home from work! Get your family out there for a water fight.

› Check out the springs. There are a number of beautiful, natural springs within a two-hour drive of Marion County. Visit them!
