Things to Do this Week in Cumming GA – Week of July 1st, 2013

July 1st?!?!  HOW is that even possible!!  We officially at the half-way point of our summer break – according to the Forsyth County School calendar anyways.  And if you’re a mom like me, then that’s really the only “summer” calendar that matters – summer starts when school gets out and it pretty ends when open houses start!
But the big question for now – Are you having fun so far this summer?  I hope so!  In case you’re new to our site, make sure you check out our FREE “75 Days of Summer Guide“? It’s your guide to 75 days of fun in Forsyth County!! Click here to download your FREE copy!
The 4th of July is just days away so make sure you’ve checked out our 4th of July Guide for all the fun going on around town.  And make sure to note that the City of Cumming Fireworks display is on the 3rd and NOT the 4th.
