Dog Days of Summer

The dog days of August will soon be upon us, but a number of exciting neighborhood events are scheduled for the last days of July in St.Louis. Be sure to stay hydrated, check on your neighbors and relatives to make sure they’re OK, take care with your pets and remember that a cooling center is just a phone call away at 2-1-1. Heat-related illness is not to be taken lightly.
