Good Morning & Good Thursday!

I hope everyone's week is going well! If not, don't worry—Friday will be here before you can say Sunland.

To keep things fresh, fly, and exciting, I’m introducing a new addition to the newsletter: a Thursday roundup of events and activities happening in and around the county and up and down the coast (all within an hour's drive).

Growing up, I always heard there wasn’t much to do around town, but since starting this newsletter, I’ve discovered that couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s all about knowing where to look.

I’ve compiled a list of interesting things to do this weekend and into next week, and I hope to continue this going forward.

Let me know your thoughts and if I missed anything. I'm always looking to improve the newsletter and better serve our community!

P.S. When scrolling, click on the event name to get more details!
