Whether you're cheering on competitors at the New Town Triathlon or Cardboard Boat Race, watching the 21st Annual Fourth of July Parade, or enjoying an evening concert at the amphitheater, July offers countless opportunities to celebrate everything that makes our community special.
This month's issue highlights the people and businesses helping shape North St. Charles. You'll meet Brent and the team behind Newbury Flats and learn about their investment into our future. We also learn about Elite Health Collective’s innovative approach to personalized healthcare and explore the history-filled aisles of Black Cat Antiques in Frenchtown.
Our feature stories introduce Jeannie Crosby, whose gift of hospitality defines a welcoming spirit, and Chris Alexander, whose unique vision for making BobaQue a regional destination continues to bring new visitors to our community. You'll also follow Paul Rosell's inspiring marathon journey, celebrate Terri Steffes' passion for beautification through our Community Hero feature and Residents Garden Tour recap, travel with local students on their unforgettable Costa Rica adventure, and rediscover the joy of summer reading.
We're also proud to feature New Town resident Stephanie Bakula with Polly & the Pocket, along with the family connection that makes The Sea Monks' hometown performance especially meaningful.
Thank you for reading NTxConnect and for supporting the people, businesses, and organizations that make this place such a wonderful place to call home.
