Whitney Houston once sang, “I believe the children are our future,” and boy, was she right.

As the school year draws to a close, I tend to reflect on how it felt as summer approached in my younger years. It meant playing outside, swimming and looking forward to fun events like the Butler Farm Show and Big Butler Fair.

We’re stuck in the gap between spring and summer, when children are restless for days spent in the sun. Adventurous spirits and childlike wonder abound, and it doesn’t have to stop as you age. Just because it’s not officially summer doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of fun activities available right now.

Attending a few Butler County events (some this week are geared toward children) could bring back the youthful light winter stole from our eyes.
