With the Memorial Day holiday now officially behind us, the summer of 2015 can begin in earnest. Traditionally, the couple of weeks between Memorial Day and the end of the school year are not exceptionally busy in terms of local gatherings and events.
We do, however, have a few things you can do this weekend with your friends and/or family, highlighted by an exciting skimboarding championship at Delaware Seashore State Park.
Check below for some of the happenings during the last weekend of May, courtesy of your weekly Oldfather Group “Weekender Blog.”

RBFS Presents Festival Film Reviews (June 1-6).
