Scotts Valley Residents Wrap Up an Eventful Summer

This summer has flown by. It’s hard to believe that it’s the end of August and our kids headed back to classrooms this week. For many, there is a mixture of joy and sadness with summer fun coming to an end.  

In the spirit of summer, I hit the streets to find out what locals had to say about their favorite summer activities.  

I asked the question, “What were your favorite summer activities?”

Take a look below and share your own in the comments section.
