May 31, 2019

Happy Friday Richmond Friends, It is the last day of May and Summer is really getting close. Schools are almost out and our kids will be looking for ways to keep their days full. Our Summer Camp guide still has many with openings and is full of ideas. 

I hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day weekend, the weather was perfect for me! We actually ran through sprinklers in our backyard! 

This weekend is one of my favorite festivals, Broad Appetit! Plus, SPARC, Live Art! is at Altria on Sunday, it is a fun packed weekend, so be sure to check out the calendar.
