As we approach the end of August, there is finally, kind of, a glimmer of hope that cooler temps aren’t too far away. 

Time will tell how long summer sticks around before fall finally shows up, but in the meantime, there’s no shortage of indoor events to keep you cool, plus tons of other stuff going on this week, from music nights to beverage tasting and much more.
