As summer 2020 prepares to be a memory of mask-wearing in sweltering heat and lost vacations, another fall season comes rushing into full view as soon leaves will be changing, cooler morning temperatures will great morning risers, and darkness will fall near the 6 p.m. hour as time is moved back one hour very soon.
Many are trying to get in some last-minute visits to the lake and area attractions while others are just settling into the realization that 2020 will soon be completed with fall on the doorstep and winter not too far away with a hope and prayer that 2021 will be a year worth looking forward to.
