Everywhere you look lately, there are mentions of back-to-school and fall.  Where did our summer go? 

Don't let your vacation time slip away from you...keep your mind on summer vacation for a while longer.   We've been blessed with some milder weather this July.  Get outdoors.  Have fun.  Hey, we're just now seeing home grown tomatoes and corn at the roadside stands.  Nothing says summer like fresh Tennessee produce. 

I know that some schools are starting early and others are on a year-round calendar.  That doesn't change the fact that it's still summer, so get out in the afternoon or evening.  Have a picnic, grill a burger, take a drive. Plan a weekend getaway to take advantage of some great rates and packages.  There are plenty of activities in our parks and on Old Hickory Lake for you and your family.  See our events calendar for a full schedule. 

Make this summer one to remember...relax and create lots of memories for your family...you'll be glad you did.
