I never want summer to come to an end in Rockford.  There are so many fun events happening these next couple months that we won't get to enjoy when Fall and Winter come!

Every weekend in Rockford is like a little party.  There's always a market or local event to attend, and you can easily make it a date night every weekend, seriously.

Though I don't have kids, I am a very social and adventurous person.  When the middle of the week comes, I'm already trying to figure out what I'm gonna do once I get off work Friday.  So, if you're in the same boat, let me give you a list of things you might love to enjoy this weekend!

Mind you, I haven't been to any of these this summer because I've been too busy, but I do love a good vintage market!
