Thayer County Celebrates the Summer

According to the calendar, summer officially begins on June 21, 2022. Yet for many students, children, parents, teachers, and school staff, summer begins the day after the last day of school. Understanding most schools ended in May, Thayer County’s summer has begun!

Summer is a great time for communities to come together and tighten their bonds through social gatherings like barbecues, pool parties, outdoor concerts, etc. The days are longer and the nights are warm. Attitudes are festive and smiles are contagious. Summer is also the best time for families to take vacations and create new memories abroad. 

Thayer County has a list of events scheduled to enhance our community bond and give tourists a time to remember. We hope each event will have 100% participation from all Thayer County residents. Full participation enriches our identity and increases the fun-factor.
