We all face new adventures in our lives and each adventure that you start is really a new beginning — a change in your life.
How are your travel plans shaping up? How about Alaska? Australia? Or, closer to home, how about Lopez Island?
Can you feel the excitement? The annual Greater Hansville Community Center Rummage Sale is Aug. 10 and 11 at Buck Lake County Park.
