This Week: Bowling Fundraiser, Afghans For Sale, Making Pickles

The weekend is behind us and it's back to the grind; here's what you need to know to get you through to next weekend.

Weather: After a brutally hot and humid week, you can expect it to cool off—relatively speaking—this week; This Accuweather.com shows highs in the mid-80s.

What You're Saying: Sarah J. Greene posted to the Buy/Sell/Trade board that she's selling handmade afghans in her Etsy store. 

Got something you want to say? Something you want to sell? Post it on our boards! Who knows? Maybe we'll feature it in one of these round-ups.

What's Happening? Looking for some entertainment? Check out this Murder Mystery Dinner Theater at Manor Tavern, 15819 Old York Road, in Monkton. Later this week you can join the North Baltimore County Jaycees for a bowling fundraiser to benefit the Central Alarmers.

Trying to get exposure for an event? Post it to our calendar.

What Did You Miss? For headlines from around the state, check out this post. In local news, a man was killed after police shot him during a standoff in Cockeysville this weekend.

Delicious Snacks: Over the weekend Patch intern Sonia Su got some great video of personal chef Mark Tafoya demonstrating how to make pickles at Artscape. Fun fact: Pickles are really good.

Bonus: Number of days until the Baltimore Ravens show us they're capable of a repeat this year in a preseason contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? 18.
