Hot Town, Summer in the City!

The weekend before July 4th always seems to be pretty chill; so if you're taking it easy today, tomorrow and Sunday visit Downtown Sanford. The Farmer's Market is a great place to buy some fresh, local produce, and the Temple Theatre is a wonderful way to experience the culture of the North Carolina Mountains.
