Calendar Introduction
Getting Started With Your Summer Sizzle
Summertime and the living is easy. Made even easier with this handy-dandy, don’t-recycle-it-yet Sizzlin’ Summer calendar of events and places that you can reference over and over again during the sweatiest of months. Use this guide and this summer to finally visit the counties’ wineries and sweet fruit festivals, play all the water sports you’ve been interested in forever but never found the balls to just do, hit the beach for reals with more than sunscreen and visit all the oddities found near the sand, eat better and fresher by way of the outdoor markets and stands where the jams and jellies taste like your gram’s, groove to tunes while on a blanket or strolling one of the gazillion festivals, and, finally, make a short road trip to places almost as fun as Baltimore. This summer, take it to the streets and take it easy. We always do.
Anne Howard lovingly coaxed this ginormous Sizzlin’ calendar into the bright daylight and Wendy Ward cheered her on. Thanks to Deanna Staffo for the splashy illustrations.
