Don't let those back-to-school advertisements and slightly less humid nights fast-forward you to fall just yet. It's still summer, and there are lots of ways to celebrate the hot, sun-filled days before fall — and winter — set in.
This weekend alone, there are a variety of events to keep up that summer spirit.
MS Polo and pre-party
Splurge big on the Denim and Diamonds Reception Under the Stars at the Hempt Farm Polo Field Friday. Local restaurants like MoMo’s BBQ and Grill, Dockside Willies, Rock Bass Grill, Dukes Riverside Bar & Grille, Black N Bleu, Wegmans, Nolo's and Premier Caterers provide samples of their signature dishes as you enjoy a polo demonstration, entertainment from acoustic rock guitarist Erik Bohn, and silent and live auctions.
