Good Morning,

Welcome to another issue of our Community Memo where we share fun things to do around town every week.

While it might not feel like it this weekend, spring is officially here! This issue a little lighter than usual since my last few weeks have been hectic, but given the season, it felt right to make it more home & garden heavy.

Hope you enjoy!
