50 fun things to do in Holyoke this summer

    There’s nothing to do in Holyoke!
    I hear that all the time, and it’s just not true. There’s plenty to do here, especially in the warm summer months.  
    Just to prove my point, I’m reviving a bucket list that printed in the Enterprise several years ago. There are some new things to try as well as some oldies but goodies.
    These are great ideas for date nights, family activities or simply a way to kill some time on a lunch break. No more excuses! Go out and have some fun before summer’s over!
