Summertime and the living is easy

OK, so it's not quite summer yet, but the summer fun begins today. This evening (5:30 -8:00) will be the first in the series of Hayward Downtown Street Parties. It's usually a lot of fun with booths, good food, live music, and of course, Beer.

Friday the 20th will be the reception (5:30 - 8:00) for the opening of the "Discovering Art in Hayward" exhibit at Sun Gallery.

I'll be at both events, see you there.
