Midsummer Night's Dream Festivities Are Magic
Just now, fall fashion and pumpkin beers are showing up in stores. But in Middlebury and Woodbury, these two Midsummer Night's Dream events tell us that it's still summer!
There's something magical about the phrase "Midsummer Night's Dream." I'm sure we can thank Shakespeare for that, but these events in Middlebury and Woodbury are cultivating magic too.
