Friday’s tides in Havre de Grace: high tide at 1:02 a.m. and 1:14 p.m.; low tides at 7:37 a.m. and 8:16 p.m. Find tides around the Bay by searching here.

2. AROUND TOWN » It's Friday! That means there will be plenty of activity buzzing around downtown. Looking for something specific to do? Check out the LIX CONCERT at Tydings Park. It is set for 7:30 p.m.—and best of all, it is free! Two more noteworthy events are set for Saturday: BBQ Bash at Restore Church and Havre de Grace Ambulance Corps Spaghetti Dinner & Comedy Show.

3. YOU SAID IT » Save the date of Aug. 10 at at Persona Salon to help animals while getting back-to-school haircuts out of the way! A minimum donation of $20 per person is suggested with all of the proceeds benefiting the animals at the Humane Society of Harford County. Find out how to make an appointment in the blog post, Back-to-School Haircuts for Homeless Animals!

4. ICYMI » This week marked the one-year anniversary of the frightening kidnapping of Aberdeen resident Vi Ripken. Check out Aberdeen Patch for a look back at the story, and images of the kidnapper, who remains at large. 

5. PATCH HOW-TO » Did you know you can promote your fundraiser, yard sale, open house or bake sale on Patch? It’s simple. Create an event and it will show up in our calendar—which is visible to our readers all the time. Then, share it with your friends via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter and wherever else you might find interested parties. We’ll share it, too, in posts like our 5 Things You Need to Know.
