What To Do This Summer: July 15 - 31

Hello Everyone!

How is your summer thus far? Ours is moving along wonderfully - we have been enjoying the weather, going to the Splash Pad at the Park, lazing at Topsail Beach, having water gun fights, playing street hockey and sleeping under the stars!

Here is the Short & Sweet list of events and activities around town for the second half of July. You can find full details in the calendar (at the bottom of every page on the blog or find it here). There are lots of fun things on the go this month -  AAMP has a series of kid and family friendly events several times a week at Admiralty House; Shakespeare By The Sea is performing at the St. John's Farmers Market and at the Mt. Pearl library in addition to their regular venues; Mt. Pearl City Days are celebrating 25 years with several activities including an outdoor showing of Wreck it Ralph and a classic car show ...and ... the Teddy Bear Picnic is coming up! And MUCH more besides!

My next What To Do post will be at the end of the month with listings for August. In the meantime, if something comes up and you want to get the word out, please feel free to post it on my Facebook page!
