As school preparations begin, I hope you are all enjoying your last few weeks with family and friends.

I just returned from a mini vacation in Florida and unexpectedly found a scenic route, via Houston and Washington, D.C., to get back home.

There is a major end of summer community event for the four Northwestern Townships

Night in the Country will take place 4-10 p.m. on Aug. 17. Rain date is Aug. 18.

There will be cow flop bingo, with donations benefiting the Northwestern Recreation Commission.

Hopefully you will be able to make it!
