🌟 A Star Studded Schedule
The South Star Music Fest schedule is here, plus two new business openings, and a $2.3 million skate rink!
Happy Friday!
I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July weekend! My family went to the Trash Pandas game and had a blast watching the fireworks show afterward!
Before we get into today’s newsletter, I want to mention that I sent our Premium Explorers an email earlier this week about the best snowcone I’ve had in a long time. Be sure to check that out if you’re interested!
Alright, let’s get to it!
THIS EMAIL IS PRESENTED BY ROCKET CITY MOBILE IV
Do You Feel Tired All The Time?
I’ll be honest, life can get busy and leave me feeling drained. I’m guessing the same is true for you.

Thankfully, Rocket City Mobile IV can help you get back on your feet without leaving home!
They deliver hospital-grade IV hydration therapy with custom treatments to meet your specific needs!
