It’s the last weekend before school starts here in Charlotte, which means the summer is almost over! If you live in the Charlotte and surrounding area, then you know that this past week has been filled with lots of rain and storms. The weekend is projected to be sunny and HOT!!! I hope that you get out and enjoy some of the activities going on this weekend! The Panthers kick off their first preseason, home game on Saturday against the Baltimore Ravens. Other activities include: arts & crafts events, 80’s and 90’s bar crawls and festivals, PRIDE community service projects, fundraising events, professional baseball and more! Since I was born in the 80’s and grew up in the 90’s, I think I will check out one of the 80’s/90’s festivities.
There are plenty of events going on this weekend to choose from…Please pick
the event(s) that are just right for you and your family! Enjoy and have fun!!!
