Hello Thursday! Chelsea here.

I don’t really understand how, but it’s already the last day of August! This summer, and this year, have totally flown by. But it’s not all bad news. With September comes the best season in Ohio: fall. Of course, fall doesn’t officially start for a few weeks, but there are so many festivals between now and then that it’s impossible not to be excited. If you wanted to go to a different festival every weekend from now until Halloween, you absolutely could. Get ready friends, fall is almost here!
