Our city does free concerts in the park and outside movies at the local museum… check your city's website and see what they have to offer… you can walk an outdoor mall, along the river/lake… go to the airport and people watch… share a sno cone from the sno cone place on the corner… go to the local farmer's market… pick blackberries, peaches, whatever… find an Amish pantry …. pack a picnic lunch and go bike riding… go fishing… ballgames… hockey… even band competitions can be fun… if you don't have a college or semi-pro/pro team in your community, go to high school games! There are movie matinees that cost very little and/or you can go to a nice restaurant and get a couple of yummy appetizers that you don't usually order when you eat out. You can have so much fun without spending a lot of money if you take the time to look and use your imagination!
