Get Out Weekend Planner
Yes, Newtown, we did it again. You filled our Events Calendar with so many wonderful activities, we had no choice but to compile our favorites into the Get Out Weekend Planner.
While it may seem natural to flee to the Shore or some cool Pocono mountaintop for the long Fourth of July weekend, we at the Get Out Weekend Planner beg you to hesitate. Because there are events in town this weekend to battle any trip to the beach or stroll along a boardwalk. Or, because you have to work and gas prices are too high to make traveling any fun.
As always, remember to check in next week when we refresh the Planner and be sure to tell us what you think in the comments section below or add your own event to the Calendar.
