It's August -- the month we try to squeeze out the last bit of summer before school begins.  Why not relax on a downtown restaurant deck for a late afternoon lunch or twilight dinner? Or check out the unusual finds at any of our great shops.

The Second Saturday will include dinner, a movie, and music downtown.  Or you can dine in after taking advantage of the best produce, meats and sweets at the County's oldest producer-only Downtown Farmers' Market every Saturday from 8am to noon.

Check out our new website atwww.westminstermd.gov to see all that's hot and happening downtown!  And "like" us on Facebook!
