It’s hard to believe that summer is flying by, and August is almost here. We hope you have checked a lot of boxes off of your Summer Fun Bucket List, but if you haven’t – no worries! There’s still plenty of time to get out and explore in Jackson County to create some summer memories.
We had a blast sharing some ways to learn something new this summer – from art classes to museums to local events – we know those brains have just kept growing all summer long.
We wanted to share a few more ideas to help inspire you throughout the rest of the summer, so keep reading and hopefully learn some new places to explore!
