Hi Everyone,
I hope all of you are well and enjoying the sometimes better weather. Summer’s here some days, although without the humidity, so far. There a couple of additions this tonight. If I haven’t listed an address, you can find it in an old update or on the calendar page. BTW, I have done nothing with the calendar page as yet. I’m waiting until I find out if some more events come back.
Feel free to fill me in on whatever you know is happening that I don’t have listed here. Some things I couldn’t find, some I probably forgot to look up, and some I’m sure I don’t know. If you send info, please give me as much as you can about it, including where to find the information so that I may update later.
There are a variety of restrictions/rules in effect in various locations. In most cases, I haven’t included those. Keeping up with that is more than I can handle. I know rules are changing quickly! I suggest that you contact whichever event organizer you’re interested in attending to find out what the rules are for that location.
