They call these the dog days of summer, but having
checked in with a couple of very enthusiastic canines at the
Brevard Dog Park, I think they’d agree that’s nothing to lose your
cool about in Brevard and Transylvania County. No matter whether
you’re looking for a shady trail, a brisk splash, a great excuse to
chill out and check out some great music, or maybe just a
refreshing beverage at the end of another fabulous day, Brevard has
plenty to offer up this August. Why not sneak in a couple more
summer adventures?
Don’t forget the sunscreen!
