“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Good Morning North State!
We have another week of beautiful weather ahead of us! It’s creeping up into the 90s today, so some might say it’s bordering on hot, but don't let that stop you from getting out there to explore! There are lots of fun events coming up this week, including the 65th annual Red Suspenders Day.
Have a beautiful Monday, and I hope to see you out there.
