It looks like we’re getting a brief respite today from the bad weather, and then back into rain for the weekend. But don’t worry…it’s because we’re keeping all of the really nice weather in reserve for next weekend’s Andersonville Midsommarfest! We hope to see you all there. If you haven’t already, check out our post about the band lineup. In the meantime, be sure to check out all of the fun things happening THIS weekend! And if you simply can’t wait to satisfy your festival craving, head to The Raven this weekend at Chase Park, 4701 N. Ashland.
