🍦 What’s Up This Weekend? (Hint: Peaches, Parades & Parties)

TOGETHER WITH

There are events everywhere this weekend, from live music and markets to yet another Peach Truck stop (because clearly, we’re all just one cobbler away from greatness). And just to keep things interesting, we’ve now added lobster rolls to the mix because why not throw New England into our Midwest summer?

In today’s South Side Scoop:

• 🎡 Last Chance for Fair Fun: It’s the final weekend of the Johnson County Fair; don’t miss the demolition derby, free foam party, and family-friendly excitement.

• 🎨 Help Paint a Mural in Bargersville: Join the Johnson County Community Foundation for the 2025 Color the County Community Painting Day at Taxman Brewing.

• 🚧 Fairview Road Closures Ahead: Fairview Rd near SR 135 will close twice for bridge work: Friday, July 18, and again July 21–25.

Let’s get to it!
