Middle of August already! I can tell because my birthday reminds me that the summer season is drawing to a close. That means perhaps the last of my family fishing trips is behind me, I no longer keep kid-sized life vests handy, and—most importantly—the schedule slows to a more leisurely pace.
Every once in a while, I get a clear reminder of the incredible network of local small businesses it takes to keep mine running. The list is long—ranging from one-person operations to larger teams across multiple locations. But no matter their size, they are all right here in our community and always ready to step up on short notice.
I have reached the point in my season where I am fishing with kids frequently.
