We’ve officially stepped into summer and there’s no better time to get out and explore the great outdoors. This month, we’re taking you to the banks of the White River as we explore Gaston’s White River Resort. We’ve also partnered with four local restaurants, each of whom have $50 gift cards for the winners of our Eat Local contest – don’t miss your chance to win at DoSouthMagazine.com! Feeling hungry? Try our easy recipe for blistered shishito peppers served alongside a spicy pineapple margarita. We’re also introducing you to two entrepreneurs. One is tied up in a ballooning business and the other is illustrating a darling life. You’ll also meet a local man, determined to give ALS the axe. He and his wife’s love and hope for the future will warm your heart.

They say it takes a village to thrive during hard experiences. It’s during times like these we begin to understand the need to appreciate each other a bit more, and we want to hear from you! Do South® Magazine wants to recognize those who work tirelessly to build our community up. Please reach out and tell us how you or someone you know is impacting the River Valley! To all the moms and dads, grandparents, neighbors, teachers, doctors, first responders, law enforcement officers, nurses, social workers, essential workers, and so many more, we thank you for everything you pour into the River Valley. We are forever grateful. Have a happy and safe 4th of July, I’ll see you in August!
