A Special Announcement
Cool morning breezes, the chirping of bell crickets and grasshoppers… can you feel autumn slowly tiptoeing in?
Even though we’ve all been ready to wave goodbye to the summer heat, there’s something a little bittersweet about the season coming to a close, isn’t there?
Fireworks festivals, splashing in the pool — saying farewell to all those summer joys is never easy.
So, here’s a sudden but exciting announcement — an event for everyone who wants to squeeze every last drop of fun out of summer!
The title? 《End-of-Summer Yellow Fest》
