Star Gazing: 
There are no more crowds doing bonfires outside, so take advantage of the quiet nights. Go star gazing at Porter Park or Smith park. Even better, head out to the Sand Dunes and enjoy the peace and quiet. Make sure you bring a jacket and a few blankets for those cool nights. Download the Star Tracker App from the App store for an even cooler stargazing experience. This mobile sky map will help you find amazing constellations!
Go Shopping:
Now is the time to do all of your shopping. There are no lines at Walmart, and everything is in stock! This opportunity only comes once a year, so take advantage of the good parking spots and fast, easy shopping. Just be sure not to get caught in Shark week- the week before school starts.

Your favorite camping spots, fishing spots, and swimming spots are practically EMPTY! Enjoy the solitude of the outdoors before it gets crowded in September. Here are some of our favorite outdoor spots.

Go to your Favorite Restaurants:
Head over to your favorite restaurant. Not only will there be no lines, but the food will be better and it will usually be faster. The cooks will not be in a rush to make your food, so generally, the portions will be a little bit bigger, and a little bit fresher. Check out our favorite restaurants!
