If you noticed, I was not in your inbox last week. I took a much-needed vacation to do absolutely nothing and hang out with my family and friends. It was great and extremely needed.
Another thing is where the heck did July go? How is it almost August?!
AND, if you aren’t a subscriber to the Setting the Stage newsletter, here’s the scoop: Samantha Dunne, ClickO writer and author of the wonderful STS newsletter, is leaving. I’ve been having to say bye to some really special people lately 🙁. She is moving on to new experiences and that is so cool! But, she is someone who I will miss here at News 6. Wish her luck!!
Let’s get into it ⤵️
We’re looking AHEAD, y’all!
August is literally days away, but that doesn’t mean you can’t plan your next exciting event.
We have a whole list of festivals, fairs and other events happening in Brevard County 🎵.
Spoiler alert: Something pretty fun coming up is the fourth annual Space Coast Wing Battle, which will bring the best of the best to Melbourne.
