It's always difficult to head back to the daily grind after an extended weekend. However, now that we’re well-rested and have a four-day week to look forward to, we can look ahead to see what you’re doing next weekend.
Hopefully the Blackhawks can stay afloat tonight, so we can see a game 7 on Saturday. Also the kids are seeing the school come to a close in the upcoming week. For a job well-done, you can treat the youngin’s to Hurricane Harbor – since they opened their doors over Memorial Day weekend.
Here are your top five Lake County things to do this weekend May 29-31:
