Usually, community members would be planning to attend some of the various summer festivals we have in the Lehigh Valley.

With the present situation, most festivals have been canceled or postponed. So we all have to get creative and make our own entertainment.

Plan a hike or a bike ride. Order takeout, set up a nice dining table outside and enjoy the summer air.

Remember to be safe and keep having fun during this unsettled time.

The weather has been quite warm lately. Check on your elderly neighbors and relatives to make sure they’re keeping cool.

Keep pets indoors with air conditioning and make sure they have plenty of water.
