Editor's Note

Hey Valley fam,

We're officially in that part of the year when every weekend feels like a choose-your-own-adventure. One minute you're grabbing snacks at a local market, the next you're at a movie in the park, a community festival, or making a last-minute trip to the Island.

This week's lineup is packed with family-friendly events, live music, Juneteenth celebrations, outdoor fun, and plenty of opportunities to support local businesses and organizations along the way. We also want to shine a light on Moe, this week's Pet of the Week, who is searching for a foster or forever home before June 15.

However you spend your weekend, we hope you make time for something local, something memorable, and maybe even something new.

✅ Life Hack

Heading to an outdoor event? Freeze a bottle of water overnight. It'll keep your bag cool and become an ice-cold drink later.
