Fair Day Energy: Get Outside

The San Juan County Fair is in full swing, a former student just painted a mural for the new school year, and today's weather is practically begging you to play hooky—74 degrees, zero rain, and golden hour doesn't arrive until nearly 8:30 PM. Hit the Hatch Chile Roast at 11, grab the WOW Farm Pop-Up in Olga at 2, then decide if you're wine-tasting at the Orcas Hotel or catching four pianos at the Chamber Music Festival tonight. This is peak August, friends.
