Festival, 5K and Finest Without a doubt, Saturday was one of the hottest days I’ve spent outdoors in some time.

Loss that Sparks Somber Reflections Friday night’s mass killing at a theater in Colorado during a screening of the recently released “The Dark Knight Rises,” the latest in the Batman series, was shocking.
