YAY SUMMER! Welcome to our Summer edition of the SPIN Newsletter! Summer officially started on June 21st this year, and whether you’re still wearing your parka up in Maine or melting your face off in Texas the season is here to stay (well at least until September 22nd). This edition of the SPIN Newsletter is dedicated to our many supportive DESTINATION sponsors who have stuck by us for all these years. So grab the nearest aluminum webbed folding chair, but not the one with the big rips that make your butt fall through, we don’t want you scraping your thighs and spilling your fresh-squeezed lemonade down your shirt while reading these hand-selected tidbits about our spectacular SPIN family members who represent destinations! |
