June 20 - According to the Naval Observatory, summer begins at 7:57 pm on a June 20th for the first time since the year 1896. Since that time the summer solstice has always occurred on the 21st or 22nd, but due to a variety of reasons including the gradual slowing of the Earth's rotation, we will begin to experience these "early" solstices more frequently.
June 28 - Scene in Winston-Salem, the first ever downtown scavenger hunt, will be held this day from 2 - 6 p.m. Teams of two will solve clues that will lead them to various downtown destinations, and ultimately to the finish line and the awarding of cash prizes for top finishers.
