We are still here for all the summer magic as July draws to a close

Families can choose from many events and activities happening this weekend in Champaign-Urbana

We know, we know… we’re giving you a lot of back-to-school related items on chambanamoms.com in recent weeks. But that doesn’t change the fact that we’re still enjoying summer fun, like the Champaign County Fair and other one or two day festivals. Or any of the other things happening around town (which you can find on our event calendar no matter what the season). We won’t count the days down until the entire community heads back to school but we will say we will enjoy every day between now and when that day comes!

A few events to check out this weekend
