Summer’s quickly barreling toward us. And, many of us have already started filling our calendars with fun and relaxing things to do all summer long. Now, you’ve got another spectacularly unique and awe-inspiring event to add to your to do list: WaterFire in Sharon, one of only a handful of cities worldwide that hosts the epic event.
