If Memorial Day weekend signals the onset of the summer high season, then nothing makes it more official than enjoying the 4^th of July fireworks celebration. The annual tradition was greatly appreciated by the thousands who turned out at Trum Field to take part in the spectacle and the patriotic spirit of the occasion.

Spotty weather conditions aside, we are well on our way into a great time of the year. It’s a time for family vacations, outdoor activities, and an overall celebration of the vitality and passion that the sunny months ahead will bring forth.

We look forward to shaking off the chill of winter and embracing the vibrant promise of the bright days ahead, while holding fast to our love of family, community, and country. May we all celebrate together safely and happily.

We are particularly blessed by living in a part of the country that enjoys a rich diversity of environmental treasures, from our sun-kissed beaches to some of the most beautiful woodland areas around. Take advantage of these gifts by visiting those places whenever you can and really taste the sweetness that life in our little niche of the world can offer. There is, after all, no place like home.
