August Art Exhibit Begins At Library in Bedminster, More This Weekend
With rain due to stop, it's time to enjoy outdoor activities again on Friday and beyond.
While the first day of August may have brought out more umbrellas and rain parkas than bathing suits or shorts, summer's fine weather is due to return on Friday, and also, a chance to enjoy many special activities, both indoors and out.
