Summer is nearly here – cue the outdoor fun. I have always felt Summer kicks off with Memorial Day and ends with Labor Day. Throw in The Fourth of July and its a fun season of celebrations. A simple and tasty snack to serve up for these occasions is this Red, White & Blue Patriotic Snack Mix. It’s festive, delicious and always a crowd pleaser.
