It was a common theme during the Music on Main that highlighted the first day of September in Lakewood Ranch.

One after another, those enjoying carnival rides, food booths and music by Oceans Eleven kept repeating they couldn't believe how quickly summer is passing.

The only thing to do then was to make the most of summer's final Music on Main. With thunderstorms holding off until later in the evening, they did just that.
