Happy spring! Or, should I say happy summer? No matter if you are calculating the season from the thermometer or the calendar, we can all agree that it’s been a glorious few days of sunny weather. With sunshine and warm temperatures continuing through the weekend, ThurstonTalk has included a host of warm weather activity ideas in our weekend event calendar. So, whether you are in a “book on the beach” kind of mood, a “hike to the summit” state of mind or a “stroll and sip” mentality you’ll find local ideas on our list to suit.
