come and gone, leaving every- one with their fill of cookout food and patriotism. The family vacations are over for most, hav- ing emptied a good amount from the pockets. Summer camps are entering their final few sessions before sending kids back home. Yet there are still summertime

things to savor, many of which can come at very little or no cost. Options include anything from the outdoors to indoors, and most are right under our noses. A short trip to the Blue Ridge
Parkway by way of Ox Creek Road will lead to a hiking trail with beautiful scenery. For those interested in nature but not looking for anything quite as remote, the Main Street Na- ture Park is also open for explor- ing. Also on Main Street in Weav-
erville, eateries such as Maggie B’s Wine & Specialty Store, Well-Bred Bakery and Blue Mountain Pizza provide a va- riety of offerings to entice pa- trons. Maggie B’s holds free
tastings every Friday while Blue Mountain Pizza and Well-Bred Bakery provide lots of live enter- tainment. You may be spending some money, there is more bang for the buck. Of course, there is Lake Lou-
ise as well. While playing out- side may not be as popular with some children as it once was, the lake and its park provide enter- tainment for the younger mem- bers of families as well as a place to picnic, exercise and fishing. But a playground does everyone a little good, no matter the age. Whether it’s one of these activ-
ities or some other opportunity, be sure to make the remainder of summer last by taking advan- tage of things that are seasonal and pocket friendly.
