Hey TC! As we start to come off the craziness of Cherryfest, take a deep breathe, we made it through. We rode all the rides, ate a few to many elephant ears, watched the fireworks and attended the parades. We were living our best life. And now back to our regular scheduled programming; 8PM dips in the lake, coffee on our favorite patios, a glass of wine while tunes of the live band is playing in the background. And don’t forget that post dinner stroll to the Dairy Lodge for a cool ice cream as temps start to get into the 90’s this week.

St. Vincent Live with Orchestra at Interlochen's Kresge Auditorium. Monday, July 20, 7:30pm. Conducted by Jules Buckley with special guest Arooj Aftab.

If you see one show this summer, this is it. Kresge under the pines at dusk is already one of the best concert venues in the Midwest. Add St. Vincent with a full orchestra and it's going to be one of those nights you talk about for years. Tickets are still available but they won't be for long. interlochen.org

The window is short. Go this week.

Third Coast Fruit Co. — 555 Wilson Rd, TC Rennie Orchards — 11221 Monroe Rd, Williamsburg Cherry Connection — 12414 Center Rd, TC

Bring a bucket. Pick more than you think you need. Freeze what you don't eat. In January when it's 12 degrees and you pull out a bag of cherries you picked yourself in July, you'll feel like a genius.
