Wow we have heated up

101, literally, in the shade and the parents of the incoming M U Students gave 'Sweating to the Oldies' a new definition last week. The 16,000 students who spend 3/4 of the year with us brought heat and humidity back to Oxford with them. It was hard to see their parents say good bye and move them into their homes/ dorm rooms under these horrific conditions. Saying good bye and going home to an empty house is difficult enough, in the best of times. Non the less Oxford has again doubled it's population with youngsters who certainly have way more energy than we do and who bring a vitality to the town that is simply wonderful.

Our Music Festival is winding down with the annual Pig Roast being held this Thursday evening. A wonderful way to end the Summer in Oxford. A tradition that dates back some 20 years.

My Dulcimer group played a concert at Sharon Woods, A Hamilton County Park, last Sunday and it was 92 that day. Even the Canadian Geese left us for shade and what little water they could find. We did manage to cut through the haze with some pretty good renditions of some great traditional tunes and a trip to the Root Beer Stand afterwards made it worth while.

The Dog Days of Summer are sure with us and the leaves are falling........... Football Season is almost here!
