Friday Five: Livin’ for the Weekend
TGIF! It’s time for another great weekend in Raleigh, friends. While Dunkin officially released its PSL this week—and, yes, I did buy one the day it came out—it’s still very much summer (see that upcoming 90-degree-weather forecast 🥵), and no summer weekend should go to waste! Slap on your sunscreen and hit the town for outdoor activities, or beat the heat with a slew of indoor events. Without further ado, here’s your Friday Five!
But First… Par-tee It up at Dogwood Country Club ⛳️
A full game of golf minus the heat? Sign us up! This month, we’re giving away a $50 gift card to Dogwood Country Club so you can work on your swing while enjoying food, drinks, and—most importantly—AC (!) via its indoor golf simulators. Enter now using the link below!
