Happy Wednesday Smarties! Looking forward to tax-free weekend? I am looking forward to wrapping up the back-to-school shopping and hoping to save some money at the same time. This weekend brings back our Carolina Panthers with FanFest, a great, free family activity. The consignment of all consignment sales, CMOM’s is also this weekend. It is shaping up to be a weekend of bargains and family fun. Get out and enjoy! If you have events you would like to share, please email me at Courtenay@charlottesmartypants.com.
