July Heat Meets Callaway Cool
When summer turns up the temps and you’re looking for relief – come to Callaway County, a place that knows a lot about bringing the cool. Here are just a few ways you can chill - or thrill - your way through summer.
Mid-Week Date Night
Enjoy an authentic Brooklyn-style pizza, red checkered tables, and live music in Fulton’s downtown Brick District during Live Music Wednesdays (the first & second Wednesdays) at Brooklyn Pizza, 6 p.m.-7:30 p.m.
After dinner take a little stroll around the corner, and grab a frozen yogurt from Lulu’s before they close at 8pm.
Thirsty Thursday
On July 13, the Brick District hosts it's annual Ladies Sip & Shop Night from 4-7 p.m. Grab your best pal and sip complementary beverages while shopping. Be sure to grab a passport for chances to win prizes.
Friday Fun Night
Pairing a frozen cocktail with The Station’s Friday Night Music Series is the definition of chill. Music starts at 7 p.m., right in the heart of Fulton’s Brick District.
If you want to mix some thrill with your chill, how about some night time dirt track racing at Callaway Raceway, just south of Fulton. Gates open at 5 p.m. with racing starting at 7 p.m. Note: If the heat becomes to excessive, races may be delayed or cancelled. Please check their Facebook page for up-to-date info.

Wood-fired pizza goes great with a side of live music every summer Saturday, 6 p.m.-9 p.m. at Serenity Valley Winery near Fulton. Be sure to stay for their fabulous sunset view.
