Managerʼs NOTE on the COVER

wondered if it’s still fashionable, make sure to consult a few of our favorite local retailers as they navigate you through the latest denim trends and help style your summer wardrobe (P. 13).

If you are looking to cool off and take a break from the sun and heat, make time to head to Funway or Emagine Entertainment for some fun (P. 15). From laser tag to vintage arcade games, black light mini golf, and the largest screen of its kind in the Midwest, amusement abounds!

Enjoy soaking in the sun and summer life, and as always, thank you for reading!
