In case you forgot, it’s July! This Wednesday (aka Fourth of July) begins the first concert in the Fair St. Louis Summer concert series! And who better to start it off than Heart. What About Love, Alone, Barracuda…I mean who doesn’t love Heart?!
The festival begins on July 4th this year so that means….we’re less than one week away from Fourth of July fireworks! And since almost everyone else cancelled their fireworks shows due to our dry, hot weather, Fair St. Louis is THE place to be!

Doesn’t know how to cook and survives pretty much on macaroni and cheese and pizza, so naturally, loves to eat out at restaurants. However, one day when she is married and has a family to cook for, she would love to take cooking classes and learn awesome skills like the chefs on Iron Chef America...as long as she doesn't have to clean the dishes afterwards.
