Mosquito Sheriff wants to be sure you enjoy sweet summertime with your family. Here’s a bucket list to help you enjoy the rest of your summer fun.
- Go to the beach! (Or the Lake) Summer days are best spent on the sand making memories. Pack a snack or lunch and grab some sand toys.
- Go to a farmers’ market. This is a fun family activity and a great way to support your local community. Getting fresh local fruits, vegetables, and other goods will not only help others but will taste so much better in your recipes.
- Have a picnic. This makes any mealtime more fun. Grab some fun books or watch the sunset.
- Catch an outdoor concert in your town. This is so much fun and a favorite of ours! Check your local town for listings of bands and times for each performance. Bring chairs and blankets. The kids can dance, and you can pack a fun dinner or grab take out on the way. This is a fun night for the whole family.

Here is a great grilling recipe for your next barbecue!
EASY GRILLED CORN
Ingredients
6 Cobs of Corn
2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
Instructions
- Remove the husks and silks of the corn and then coat each cob with the olive oil.
- Oil your BBQ’s grate and preheat it to high heat (at least 500F).
- Place the corn on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every few minutes until nice char marks appear (I use a gas BBQ with the lid down).
- Remove the corn to a plate and let it cool for a few minutes until it’s safe to handle.
Be creative with the toppings and seasoning! 😊
