WIRTW #724: the 'summer' edition

Our summer is sadly winding down. Vacation is over. I have one kid leaving for college in less than four weeks, and other starting his high-school sophomore year a week later. So, I'll be trying to spend as much time with my kids in the coming weeks as possible. This includes enjoying my daughter's final few gigs of a very busy music summer.

If you want to catch norah marie gigging before she heads off to college, these are your final five chances.

• July 20 @ 6:30 pm — Crocker Park
• July 25 @ 6 pm — 8th Day Brewing
• Aug 2 @ 6 pm — The Olde Wine Cellar
• Aug 3 @ 3 pm — Vibin' in the Vines Festival
• Aug 11 @ 3 pm — Eleventhree Brewing

All events are free. And, if you happen to know of a brewery, winery, coffee shop, or other venue in central Ohio booking live music, please let me know.
