It’s exciting to see Heritage Day moving to July 11th! The mix of antique cars and bluegrass music should make for a great time. If you're planning to visit, you might also enjoy exploring the new “Farm to Table Museum” while you’re there. I’ve been curious about local history, and it could be a fun way to learn more. For anyone into event planning or local gatherings, I found some great tools at WizardAlchemy that could help organize your next outing.
