Frugal Blue Jay’s final article lists local events, attractions

Hello! It’s the Frugal Blue Jay one last time. I know; it’s sad. But, hey, maybe I’ll be back next semester. I’d love to do this again, and maybe you guys would appreciate more of my insight. This is the last article of my three-part series that I’ve done. This article is about free/inexpensive places and events to attend.
I know college students can get stuck in the flow of things, but it’s time for a game changer. Time to get out there and enjoy ourselves. There are great places here in Elizabethtown and nearby communities that offer some great events, and it’s time they get some limelight. What are you waiting for? Start reading!

Well, this is my third and last article. Thank you, readers. It means a lot to me. This project has been a great start to my contribution to the Etownian, and I can’t wait to write again. I hope that what I’ve had to say has been helpful to you and your friends. Perhaps my fellow students have started to become frugal Blue Jays as well. I know with my three articles I have shown you ways in which that can be accomplished. Well, the frugal Blue Jay is signing out for the final time. Stay thrifty!
