Winter 2013
- I contend that cold weather builds character and camaraderie. No offense to the Texans and Floridians who may be reading this, but it is also my contention, based on hard-earned years of experience in the service industry, that the nicest people come from the coldest climates.
Autumn. Golden leaves, crisp cool air, warm sun and snow dusted peaks. This time of transistion in Summit County gets us excited and reved up for the snowy winter while we mourn the short lovely summer. Hiking and Biking is still here for all of us to enjoy so get out and explore! Things are quieting down but shops and restaurants are open. Incredible sales can be found and 2 for 1 Entree's are available at many of our county's restaurants. I really love the peace and quiet that comes at this time. The Hustle and Bustle is dying down and the local is re-emerging. Its a great time to be here.
