Debby Leaves Town


 Why, look at this. Could it be…sun?



If you’re looking to get out and experience some sunny weather today, here are a few things going on around town.

Of course you have the local markets: Clarksville Commons, Freetown Farm, and Maple Lawn.



A quick plug here for the Commin Kitchen, located at Clarksville Commons. A recent power surge knocked out their power and damaged some equipment, so the food vendors took a lot of losses until the facility was able to get back up and running. If you’re stopping by the market, perhaps you can pop in and get something to eat, as well. 

If you’re a fan of all things Barbie, you might be interested in the Barbie Truck Dreamhouse Living Tour happening at The Mall in Columbia today, from 10 am to 7 pm. It’s not a traveling museum or a show. It’s all about selling merch. Want to know more? Here you go. 




The Howard County Department of Recreation and Parks is sponsoring the Rockburn Open Car Show today from 10 am to 2 pm in Rockburn Park. Admission is free. 



Celebrate the beauty of classic, antique, hot rods, and modified cars on display outdoors at Rockburn Branch Park. Food available for purchase. Exhibitor fees apply. Free to visitors of all ages.

Click here for information about registration if you wish to exhibit a vehicle: fees and registration.


From 9:30 - 1:00 Just Living Advocacy is holding a Back to School Community Resources Backpack Fair at Elkridge Elementary School.



From the event page:

FREE

- Backpacks School Supplies

You can catch the USA vs Brazil women’s Olympic soccer match at La Palapa Grill & Cantana this morning beginning at 11 am. (They’ll open at 10:30.)




Catch all the soccer action at La Palapa. 150” projection screen and plenty of TVs. Sound will be on. We will open at 10:30am USA vs. Brazil at 11am.

Today is the last day of the Howard County Fair. You can see the schedule of events at their website. 




As always, this is just a taste, and I tend to promote free and/or low cost events around town. There’s plenty of others to choose from. You can check out these resources for info on local events: Events on Facebook (Choose Local and This Week)  or take a look at the activity calendar at Visit Howard County. Have you taken a look at the new events calendar in town run by Ricardo Whitaker/Guilford Gazette? It’s called HoCo Calendar.

My day includes cleaning out my beloved 2010 Mazda 5 which has apparently come to the end of the road. If you or someone you know is looking to sell one of those well-preserved vehicles that was only "driven by a little old lady to church on Sunday" please let me know. I don’t drive much but I’m going through car withdrawal.
