Evolution Home, Gordon Biersch and a Garage Sale for a Cause

Just a few more weeks before summer vacation is over. So try to go out with a bang by participating in some of these local events this week.

Fundraiser Garage Sale for Leukemia Lymphoma. Visit 8221 Stacey Road for a garage sale this Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon. All proceeds from the sale will benefit Leukemia Lymphoma Society for Team Tyler Crabtree. Click here for more information.

Mount Vernon Farmers Market. Visit the Mount Vernon Farmers Market from 8 a.m. to noon Wednesday at the Sherwood Regional Library. The county recently announced that the market will stay open until mid-December this year, so you have plenty of time!

Evolution Home. The new vintage consignment store recently opened on Richmond Highway after moving from Del Ray. The store opened for business this past weekend. Stop by and take a look at the new addition to the Alexandria area.

Gordon Biersch continues to celebrate its 25th anniversary by offering its house beers for $2.50 every Tuesday through August. The brew pub chain has two locations in Washington, DC (900 F St., NW and 100 M St., SE), a pub in Tysons Corner in McLean (7861 Tysons Corner Center) and another location in Annapolis.

Make Gyotaku fish prints! How did Japanese fishermen record their catches? They rolled ink or paint onto them and pressed them against a piece of paper to make a print. Join in on the fun for kids and families using a rubber fish at the Anacostia Community Museum, 1901 Fort Place, SE, Washington, DC on Tuesday, 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Free, for information and reservations call 202-6433-4844.
