From Donna Pilato, your Guide to Entertaining
It's the final week of summer freedom before a hectic new school year begins. We're making the most of it here, and drinking in the last dregs of the summer season while looking forward to the new beginnings that autumn brings. Have an Entertaining week!

Host a Labor Day Party
Summer has reached the finish line on our schedules, if not officially on the calendar. Labor Day gives us one last day to wear our relaxed summer attitude and enjoy the taste of the season. Here's how to make the most of this final summer weekend.

Welcome Fall with a Late Summer Party Menu
Summer is quickly disappearing as the days grow shorter and the school buses grow louder. But fall hasn't officially arrived yet. We need a party that holds onto the best of summer's flavors for just a little longer while moving us into the next season.

Corn-on-the-Cob Necessities
We're still enjoying local corn in our area, and I hope we'll continue to find it through our Labor Day barbecue. One of the best things besides the taste of local corn is the fun corn-on-the-cob accessories you can use while eating it. Take a look at some of my favorites and make sure you've stocked up before your Labor Day party.

Planning My Daughter's Sweet 16 Party
My younger daughter still has a few years to go before she hits Sweet 16. And yet, she's already planning her Sweet 16 party. Sure, let's go there and forget about your sister's Sweet 16, your next three birthdays, and middle school graduation and all the other events before you reach 16. Because the Sweet 16, as we all know, is a major event in a young girl's life. In fact, I'd better start checking my notes for How to Plan a Sweet 16, because it's never too soon to begin.
