Even though we have had some challenging weather conditions in recent weeks, we were very fortunate to have ideal weather during our two-day Skimmer Festival, which took place over Father’s Day Weekend. In addition to the thousands and thousands of people who attended our Skimmer activities, I want to thank our municipal employees in the Tourism Office and Department of Public Works for making the festival a reality. My thanks also go to Jim and Karen Ambro for hosting the Skimmer Antique Auto Show, which featured 105 amazing vehicles.
