Well, Wednesday is the first day of the fall season. We are thankful for all of our summer memories as September is slipping away as quick as you can say Jack Frost! We know he is waiting just around the corner, but it doesn’t seem possible with the late summer weather we are enjoying. Colleen Morris reports that on Tuesday she will be celebrating Johnny Appleseed Day and Yom Kippur begins at sundown on Tuesday.

Friday is the start of the long holiday weekend. Labor Day is on Monday and so is the end of the high summer season. All municipal buildings and the post office will be closed. It was excellent, weather-wise, all summer, but all good things must come to an end and school starts on Tuesday.

With the fair in full swing it is hard to believe our summer season is fast becoming history. The weather has been hot this month, for the most part, but June and July were below standard. By next Wednesday the fair will be but a memory as most all the trucks, tents and carnival equipment will leave starting on Monday.

The weekend weather was just delightful. We welcome President Obama, the First Lady, and family, who will be arriving this weekend for a well-earned vacation. Next Saturday and Sunday a sales tax holiday will be in effect on many products in the commonwealth. It will be a chance to save some money on back to school items and/or other household necessities.
