5 essentials for your end-of-summer cookout

Been looking for an excuse to throw a party? The heat might stick around for a while, but the kids will be heading back to school soon.

So if you’re planning an afternoon cookout to celebrate the last weeks of long days and warm nights, here are a few things you can pick up from Hartness’s Fresh Fridays on July 20.

1. Blooms from Rosa’s – the easiest way to make the evening feel a bit fancier.
2. Treats from Cup & Cake – pre-game the meal with Piña Colada or Orange Crush cupcakes. 😋
3. Wine from Overmountain Vineyards – is it really a party unless you’re sipping handcrafted French-style wine?
4. Dog treats from Miss Bee Haven Honey Bones – made with honey from the owner’s own beehives, so your pup isn’t missing out on the fun.
5. Dessert from Marvelous Pies – the perfect summer dessert (without having to sweat over the oven). 🍓
