It’s going to be a bit of a hodgepodge here today. Hopefully you’ll find something that you like.
A big day for old school Columbia traditions: Wine in the Woods kicks off at eleven am today and tomorrow in Merriweather Park at Symphony Woods. A few things:
- You know the ground is going to be wet after last night’s deluge. Plan accordingly.
- Those amazing pervious pathways that will keep you from sinking into the mire? A gift to all of us from the good folks of the Inner Arbor Trust.
- HoCo’s very own Sobar will be on-site serving non-alcoholic wines and other beverages. And thank goodness for that.
The County Executive announced the introduction of the Old Ellicott City Weekend Trolley service and folks on Reddit are making sport of it because it doesn’t look like an authentic trolley. Sigh. Interestingly enough, I’m not sure that those armchair wits understood who benefits from this service the most: older visitors and those with mobility issues. So maybe it’s not about providing an historically accurate trolley experience but instead removing barriers to access for folks who might not ordinarily be able to visit Old Ellicott City. And shop there. And eat there. Just a thought.
A brief reminder that today is also the day for Skeletons in the Park: A Goth Picnic from 12 - 6 pm at the Patapsco Valley State Park, Hollowfield Area. So, if you see any dramatically dressed drivers headed in that direction, do not be alarmed. If you are one of those drivers, have fun.
If you are still looking for things to do there are a ton of options. Check out Events on Facebook (Choose Local and This Week) or take a look at the activity calendar at Visit Howard County and the listings at the Howard Courier.
I may very well mosey out to the Farmers Market at Clarksville Commons in search of the sticky buns of song and story. However, it’s probably wise to note that a lot of River Hill/Clarksville lost power last night (including my husband’s annual Guitarpalooza concert) so it’s possible that not all brick and mortar merchants out that way will be open for business. Check before you go.
Thanks for all of the lovely comments on yesterday’s blog post. It was a fun one to write and reminded me how important it is to get out there and live life and have new adventures.
Have a great Saturday.
