The light source could be the sun, a window, flashlight, lamp or projector. Hands are fine, or you could get creative by </span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.4px;">using props around the house, or paper cutouts on sticks. Take it to another</span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"> level and challenge others to a “best of” contest, or create an entire play </span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.2px;">around the characters and objects you make. Project them on a blank wall</span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.2px;">or ceiling inside the house, or a hanging sheet in the backyard.

Later that night, artists donate their creations to a silent auction, wet canvas and all. These events bring awareness, much <span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;">needed funds, and new students to area art schools, as well as new members</span> to museums, art organizations and galleries.

The steeper the hill, the faster you’ll fly! Tubing is an exercise in letting go, since trying to steer this oversized rubber “donut” is futile when gravity takes over. Ski resorts dedicate areas and times for these exhilarating runs, but if you set out to do this on your own, be sure to find a place free and clear of obstacles <span style="letter-spacing: -0.2px;">with a long, flat landing strip at the bottom to slow down (or else you and your </span>tube may have the misfortune of meeting a tree!) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">Sometimes the journey far outweighs the final destination. We are blessed in America to have some of the most stunning and diverse landscapes in the world. We have sandstone and red rock formations, stately Redwood <span style="letter-spacing: -0.2px;">forests, mountain ranges that climb to ear-popping heights, open plains, farm</span> land and big sky country. We have bridges that span for miles over oceans, and highways that hug pebble sand beaches and white knuckle cliffs. And <span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;">don’t forget the seasonal show put on every fall when the leaves change to red</span> and orange. So consider a drive for your next trip.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">Food trucks have come a long way since the Good Humor Man and they are all the rage. You can find any type of cuisine, from the novice chef just starting out their career to the decorated restaurateur who wants to drive traffic back to their brick and mortar location. You’re bound to score some delicious fare at reasonable prices. Dumplings? Korean Barbecue? Schnitzel? Maine Lobsta’? There’s a truck for every palette. Track trucks through Twitter. Now, try saying THAT five times fast.</span></div>
