Thinking about taking a vacation but not sure when to plan it? Well before you finalize those plans, think about what we have going on downtown. There’s no sense in leaving home to find something fun to do with your family and friends when you can find it for free in your own backyard. July kicks off our summer event season and there’s plenty of entertainment in your hometown.
When people think about the early part of July, the day that immediately springs to mind for most is the Fourth of July or, as it is known patriotically, Independence Day.

If you’ve driven down Main Street lately, you’ve probably seen our local version of what is now a popular TV show theme, a business makeover. Heritage Bank (at the corner of Wood and Main) won a free outdoor landscape makeover from Windmill Gardens at our May Sumner Downtown Association meeting which focused on façade improvements with flowers. The winning makeover also came with a year’s maintenance as well. So congratulations to Heritage Bank as it really makes the front entrance, which was great to begin with, look even more inviting.

Higher energy prices are a hidden undeclared tax.
Well, friends, what our new president has inherited from the neo-conservative school is nothing less than the worst economy in at least 25 years and quite possibly the worst since the 1930s. I suspect Barack Obama has reviewed certain programs that proved effective during the Great Depression under the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt.
When it comes to politics, do voters around here still want change?
There’s an old adage which states, “It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” I often wonder if this is true, but I know for sure I think of it when I recall my relationship with MTV.
