Don't let the gas prices get you down!

Since Memorial Day weekend is coming up and the summer break is right around the corner don't let the mounting gas prices get in the way of a fun time. One thing a person can do is take advantage of local points of interest. Not only will you be learning about what's been in your backyard all these years but you'll be stimulating the local economy too.

Another thing a person can do is to walk or bike more. This will not only be healthful for you and your family but being in the outdoors will clear out the cobwebs. Taking the necessary precautions of doing these activities is always the best way to go; i.e. light clothing, safety gear, sunscreen and remember to drink plenty of water to replenish and recharge your batteries.

There are a plethora of ways to have fun and enjoy the company of your friends and loved ones on a budget. Get out there and explore your hometown. Call your Chamber of Commerce if you don't know what's on offer and remember to have fun. Yes, the gas prices are high and expected to go higher but that shouldn't keep you from enjoying those long, summer days.

Peace.
