Happy Fourth of July Weekend! Wear a Mask!
OK, so this Independence Day weekend will be one like no other – closed beaches, no fireworks. Show that can-do spirit by celebrating virtually. Cook at home. Make ice cream. Track down our local fruits in season – mango, jackfruit, avocado, passion fruit all in season right now. Order takeout from your favorite restaurant, brewery, wine shop and bar. Safely visit outdoor parks and institutions. Watch “Hamilton.” And wear that mask!
