Hi Cary,

Here’s what you can expect in Today’s issue:

— Jake from Cary Digest

June is Pride Month, when communities all over the world recognize the impact of LGBTQ+ individuals on local, national, and international culture and history. Cary will celebrate with events downtown including pride lighting installations, LGBTQ+ art exhibits, and a signature Pride in the Park event on June 13th showcasing locally crafted goods from Triangle-area LGBTQ+ artisans and allies, with food, drinks, and entertainment from 5-10 p.m.

June is also National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month. If you’re thinking about adding a kitten or cat to your family, now’s the time. The Wake County Animal Center is dropping adoption fees to just $5.00 for cats older than 6 months to make room for the surge of kitten litters dropped off this time of year. Every adopted cat or kitten is spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before being adopted. For more information, click the button below.

When motivation is lacking, jumping into heavy routines is the fastest way to burn out. That’s why millions of people are turning to walking as the foundation of their fitness journey.

Walking lets you enjoy the outdoors, clear your head, and practice mindfulness. It’s simple, sustainable, and can support lasting weight loss if you know how much you need. The “10,000 steps a day” rule is outdated; everyone’s lifestyle is different.

With Simple, you’ll get access to habit-based coaching that’s helped users lose over 18 million pounds. Take the quiz to discover your personalized walking target.

We can’t think of a better spot to grab lunch on the patio before the summer heat kicks in than Tazza Kitchen in Stone Creek Village. Their seasonal menu is full of globally inspired, elevated brick oven pizzas, tacos, salads, and bowls. Top the crunchy potato and arugula salad with grilled salmon for an especially delicious, simple and fresh standout. Tazza Kitchen is open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch.
