Summer in Stillwater
Thursday, April 25, 2024
There’s just something about Stillwater in the summer months. It’s like the small-town charm is amplified. Streets are less busy, people sit outside at Braum’s to enjoy milkshakes at night, cars are parked at Western Fields for the sunset and everything feels like Webster’s definition of peace.
