Summer Fun

Summer is here and it's time to get out and soak up the sunshine! Here are a few inexpensive ideas to get out of the house and enjoy the weather.

Have a BBQ: Enjoy the great outdoors and have a BBQ at the park, beach, campground or in your backyard. Avoid spending too much money by having everyone bring something.


Go For a Hike: Head to a local park for a simple hike, or if you're ready for a challenge try hiking a mountain. Don't forget to bring water and some snacks!

Check Out Your Local Farmers Market: Always a good way to spend a summer evening, browse the fresh food, flowers, and fresh produce with some friends.


Find Free Concerts and Events: Search on the Web or check your local paper for free or inexpensive concerts, film festivals, or special events. There should be many of these going on throughout the summer.

Head to Your Local Pool: Escape from the heat and take a dip at your local pool. Admission prices are usually about $4, often much less for children.

Have a Water Fight: Break out those water-guns and water-balloons! Have a blast with your family or friends for only a few dollars.
