What I’m Most Excited About
The Strawberry Festival is obviously the main event this weekend, but I also love seeing all the smaller community events happening throughout Miami County. The free concert in Piqua, Community Night in Tipp City, and the Cemetery Walk are all great reminders that you don’t have to travel far to find something interesting to do.
If you’re heading out this weekend, let me know where you’ll be. I always love hearing about local events that bring our community together.
There is a great variety of events here, from family activities to local festivals and live entertainment, making it easy to plan a full weekend. The last time I attended a community festival, I had already booked Sal Limo Service Miami for an evening outing, and having transportation arranged meant I could spend more time enjoying the event with friends.
