ORLANDO, Fla. — We’re over halfway through August and getting used to the new school year.
As the days get shorter, the end of summer draws closer.
Here are some events going on this weekend in Central Florida:
• Early voting to end in Central Florida
Those who wish to vote early in person have a few days left, depending on the county they live in. Most counties allow voters to cast their ballot at any early voting site.
Central Florida's early voting turnout so far is... pretty dismal.

While many races are in primary mode, school board and other nonpartisan races could be final unless no one gets a majority. This is your chance to have a say. @WFTV pic.twitter.com/PHxZapfFPN
