A little weekend reading...

Compiled by Anthony Demangone

Summer is winding down, so there's no time like the present to pack up the car and head back home for Riverfest. Carnival rides, funnel cakes and fireworks are on the agenda, as well as some home cooking from Mom. 

Oh, and of course, the best of this week's reading pile. Enjoy!
