Sun is shining, and the weather is — not so sweet.
It’s roasting outside and the lack of rainfall has caused some Texas swimming holes to dry up, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy the rest of your summer before school starts.
If you’re not ready for summer to be over, I’ve got a list of some things you can check out before it’s over.
However, if you’re done with those summer vibes and ready for some high school football — you don’t want to miss the KSAT Pigskin Classic. (Full details below!)
Here’s a list of some of the events going on in the San Antonio area in August:
