Princess is open until midnight on Fridays, so that should be plenty of time to relax, knock down some pins and enjoy some laughs while the rest of the crowd from the fireworks show heads home. And don't we all need just a little more time to relax with friends? So head to Caste Village on Friday and enjoy the night!

And don't forget about 's annual carnival, which will be held from Monday, June 20, through Saturday, June 25, this year, from 7 to 11 p.m. So go see some old friends, have some yummy food and enjoy a night at the carnival.

Graduation-party time is upon us, and the parties can be spotted all over Baldwin-Whitehall. Are you having a hard time finding just the right gift for your special graduate?

Well, have you thought about ? Did you know that Urbanowicz has been in Caste Village since 1982? Urbanowicz Jewelers is my favorite jewelry store. The service there is wonderful, and the people there always make you feel welcome. To boot, the jewelry is exquisite.

Urbanowicz will gladly help you find just the right gift that you are looking for, and I'll bet that you find something for yourself while you are browsing around! What mom doesn't love getting something pretty and sparkly to wear when out on the town with her husband and friends?

And, it's another great store right here in Baldwin-Whitehall. No need to travel to the mall when you can shop close to home and leave a little more time in your day for yourself. Because, as we all know, every mom needs some!

Have a great week, moms, and enjoy the fireworks!
