What Time is It? Summertime! HMMM... THIS CERTAINLY ISN'T THE SUMMER WE PLANNED FOR. Lots of cancellations - summer camps, vacations, pool parties. Coronavirus concerns have lingered long in to the summer and put a damper on some of our favorite things to do in the warmer weather. But fret not! Summer itself is not cancelled!

some deliciously creative ideas to dress up a summer staple, the hot dog. If you do venture out, you've got to make your way to Crumbl Cookies in Cool Springs for some sweet treats. Their cookies are to die for! And if you get your full bravado on, we've got some good time ideas for short road trips to beat the heat with water parks. So while summer may not look like it has in year's prior, definitely take the time to enjoy it while it’s here. Love on your family and friends and continue to hope for a peaceful and healthy return to "normal" - whatever that "normal" means to you.

On March 13, 2020, COVID-19 was declared a national pandemic. Days, weeks and months have passed. Event organizers of the county fair have found themselves facing unprecedented times and the 2020 Williamson County Fair will not be the same as it has been the past 15 years. Due to the current pandemic, social distancing and guidelines related to large group
gatherings, the Board has faced the "pit in the bottom of my stomach" decision to not produce a live, on-the-grounds fair this year. Board members have been wrestling with how to share the agriculture, livestock, creative and culinary arts, Little l's Farming, competitions, cultural

As they are working on what that will look like, August 7-15, 2020, share your ideas on what your favorite "sign of fair times” might look like for the 2020 Williamson County Fair. Share your idea to entertainment @williamsoncountyfair.org. Your idea could be chosen and you could win a Family Four Pack, with limited ride passes, for 2021.

Go To The Experts!
Before & After Laser Hair Removal
If you’ve ever nicked yourself with your razor or had to endure a painful waxing appointment—just to have the hair grow back a few days or weeks later—then you’ll be thrilled to know that the nation’s leading laser hair removal company has opened its doors in Nashville! So what makes Milan Laser different from other places that you may have heard about? Three simple things: Results, Expertise & Affordability. Bikini Line
Bikini Line
Underarm

(Before)
Lifelong Results
Affordability
While most places that offer laser hair removal services sell packages of 6 or 9 sessions, Milan includes their exclusive Unlimited Package™ with every purchase to guarantee their clients’ results for life.
When you compare the cost of laser hair removal to the lifetime cost of your shaving and waxing routine, it’s easy to see that you’ll save money— not to mention time—with the permanent results that you can get with laser hair removal.
So, if 2, 5, or 10 years down the road a stray hair pops up you’re covered at Milan because you get unlimited treatments for life at no additional cost. At other places, this new growth would mean that you’d need to buy additional treatment packages or at the very least pay touch-up or office visit fees to get this new hair removed.
A monthly leg waxing appointment alone can cost more than $15,000 in a lifetime… all for temporary results! Plus, Milan makes it even more affordable with their specials as well as their no-interest payment plans with payments that can be as low as $29 a month.
(Before)

Technology & Expertise They are the industry’s leading experts because laser hair removal is all they do! Unlike most places that offer laser hair removal services in Tennessee, Milan exclusively focuses on helping clients get the smooth, hair-free skin that they want. This focus on laser hair removal as well as the technology they use allows Milan to safely and effectively treat all skin tones. Their laser—the GentleMax Pro—utilizes two laser technologies, one that’s geared toward fair skin and one that’s geared toward darker skin, which allows Milan to create customized treatment plans to fit the exact needs of each client’s skin tone and hair type.

WE CAN ALL AGREE, SUMMER LOOKS A LOT DIFFERENT THIS YEAR. Shelter in place orders are gradually lifting and we are taking new precautions for navigating the world outside our homes. Tourists aren’t descending on amusement parks and vacation destinations at the same rate as in previous years, and summer traditions like pool parties, festivals, and travel have been postponed or cancelled. In the midst of all this change, one thing remains the same—you can still transport yourself through the pages of a book. You can experience the cultures, landscapes, languages, and cuisines of beautiful destinations by simply turning a page. Roam the streets of Barcelona, cool off in Iceland, and have a love affair with Spain. No need to make a reservation or pack your bags—simply open the cover of one of these hot new releases.

Hermannsdottir must determine if the tragedy that befell this group of friends has connections with the murder of a young woman ten years ago out on the Westfjords. Full of atmospheric suspense, this Scandanavian noir novel will send chills down your spine on even the hottest summer day.
A LONG PETAL OF THE SEA BY ISABEL ALLENDE Civil war has broken out following General Franco’s overthrow of the Spanish government, forcing pregnant widow Roser, her brother-in-law Victor, and hundreds of thousands of

ARTICLE ASHLEY HUTCHESON
LIKE MOST THINGS 2020 HAS BROUGHT US, THIS YEAR CELEBRATING THE FOURTH OF JULY WILL LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT. The City of Franklin has “made the difficult decision” to cancel all of its Fourth of July events including “Franklin on the Fourth,” a daylong festival on the Square, and the Franklin Fireworks, an evening concert at the Park at Harlinsdale Farm followed by the city’s fireworks display. 30

BEST RED, WHITE & BLUE FOOD CONTEST Kids and adults can get in on creating a red, white and blue dish. You can start with breakfast and try a dish for every meal; the possibilities are endless. This one can easily be done socially distant by sharing photos, though it’ll take a bit of trust on the taste parameter. TYE DYE FUN All the rage in quarantine! Why not set up a station and get patriotic with the colors? People often think just t-shirts when tie dye is brought up, but in the age of Amazon, anything white cotton you can get shipped to you will do. Think bandanas, tank tops, hand towels, reusable totes, athletic socks and more! PATRIOTIC DECORATING CONTEST Have the kids decorate something. Think age appropriate for your group. It could be bikes, or even cars, for kids that have access to either type of wheels. With little or big kids, cupcakes, cookies or ice cream sundaes are also fun options. Want to include a larger group? Have a neighborhood-wide mailbox or porch decorating contest or park the decorated cars in driveways and include everyone. CUSTOM COCKTAILS Oftentimes, kids are the focus of Fourth of July fun. But adults can be included too! Make up a festive cocktail or add a little food coloring to a favorite drink and get creative with the garnish. This year is the year to add extra effort or be a little fancy since your party size is limited. And don’t forget simple summertime activities will make a big impact: watermelon eating contests, slip n slides and making ice cream are just a few ideas. 32

BEAUTY IS PERCEIVED IN MANY WAYS. There is beauty in color, in shapes, and things the eye can see. There is also beauty in performance, spirit, and in passion. A work of art by Perfect 7 Pools embodies it all. Owner Jason Shapiro and his wife Jayme moved to Franklin in 2012. The couple was visiting some friends in Williamson County when they fell in love with Franklin. “It was literally love at first sight as soon as we saw it,” said Jason.

LOCAL LIMELIGHT (CONTINUED) drew them here to stay. “There are great places to visit all over, but as far as quality of life, I don’t think there’s a better place in the country, and I’ve been all over.” Jason was working for another pool company at the time but soon decided that he wanted to take on designing and building pools in his own way. The name “Perfect 7 Pools” was inspired by the family’s loved ones always insisting that they have the perfect life – a standard
"A good pool is not defined by the nature of the aesthetic. The inner workings, how it functions, the builder's philosophy - that's what makes the difference in a truly good pool." Jason joked is hard to live up to. Once they added a golden retriever to their family of six, they took it and ran with it in a name. While one can argue that no family is perfect, it is hard to argue that about the pools that this builder creates.
The Shapiro Family
Breathtaking by day and by night, the pools feature pristine bodies of water decorated with dazzling waterfalls, beautiful stonework, and cozy spas and fire pits that offer a warm, charming atmosphere where friends and families can relax and be comfortable while making lasting memories together. “I look for inspiration within the customer,” said Jason. “As I walk into a house, I immediately start taking in the style as much as I can and try to start the building blocks of the design in my mind.” Aesthetically pleasing as the pools are, there is more to it than that. Dedication is in the details all the way down to the in-floor filtration system that keeps the water sparkling clean and an automation system that allows interaction with the pool with the touch of the customer’s phone. That’s what distinguishes Perfect 7 Pools from other luxury pool builders. “We’re different in that we care more about the things that other people don’t want to take the time to do or that are PERFECT 7 POOLS

WELCOME TO THE FRONT PORCH
SUMMER LIVING BEGINS AT YOUR FRONT PORCH. When modernizing your porch this year, take inspiration from this brand new home in Sylvan park. Cole Blassey, a Keller Williams realtor, helped a couple find this gorgeous property. They were instantly drawn to the sophisticated home and welcoming porch. Blassey says, “Buyers don’t realize it, but curb appeal is one of the most important things there is. I tell my clients all the time if we pull up a driveway in front of a house, and you don’t like the look of it, we don’t have to go inside.” A porch is not only your first impression of the home, but it makes the neigh-

CURB APPEAL
borhood feel more connected. It’s where you wave to your neighbors and watch the world go by. As you get closer to downtown Nashville, porches get smaller. Though their porch doesn’t expand the length of the home, the couple made the most of their space. They kept the porch decor stylish and simple so it’s not cluttered or distracting. Long rectangular windows make up the backdrop of the front porch. Blassey explains, “Because of the size of the windows and the entire glass door, you’re not only showcasing the outside of the home, but the inside.” It’s a unique and beautiful overlap. Blassey adds this won’t be a challenge for the couple as they always keep the house clean. Thoughtful details such as the porch’s recessed lighting and the slender silhouette sweetgum tree prevent blocking the windows. The wood column is the most distinct aspect of the porch as it brings a sense of nature to an industrial setting. Since moving in, the couple has worked on the landscaping and added a horizontal slatted fence that shortens in front of the porch. The wood fence gracefully leads your eye all the way up to the porch column as it is the same stain. Its black hardware and lantern fence toppers match the home’s black trim. 48

LOCAL’S CHOICE
Keep Cool This Summer MAKE SURE YOUR WINDOWS ARE ENERGY EFFICIENT ARTICLE SUSAN BALDANI
WHEN THE HEAT OF SUMMER MOVES INTO TENNESSEE IN FULL FORCE, KEEPING OUR HOMES COOL IS A TOP PRIORITY. You can have the best air conditioning system, but if your windows are not energy efficient, your house may still feel like a sauna. Windows that are old, have seal failure (you’ll have fog and dirt buildup between the panes), or water leakage (you’ll see rot around the windows and windowsills), need to be replaced. Doing this will result in not only a cooler home, but lower electric bills as well. Rick Schuman, a sales representative for Pella windows for over 15 years, and Paul Atwood, a trade representative for Pella, provide some helpful advice about replacing your home’s windows.
1. 2.
Look online for a professional window installer that only handles windows. If you go to Pella.com and put in your zip code, you can easily schedule an appointment with a representative.
A 5/8 thick triple pane with low E (emissivity) will reflect the sun rays while still allowing in visible light. There’s a balancing act because you want energy efficient windows, but still want the sunlight that comes through to look natural and maintain the true colors on the walls. Also, look for an energy label of .30 or less.
3.
The lead time is 4 to 6 weeks, so don’t wait too long to get started. For an average size house, allow three to five days for installation. Once they’re in, have a salesperson come back out and walk around the house to make sure everything looks fine.
