We have enjoyed many of the attractions listed, and will be happy to share our experiences.

Our favorite activities are the local outdoor events: concerts in the parks, chicken barbecues, and community yard sales.  These are great opportunities to meet new people and make new friends.

 

....Every time we mentioned going somewhere or doing something special, they had directions and information printed from the Internet in no time flat....
