The best local events to peel you off your couch
Need a reason to check out the new Manchester brewery? If their fresh brews and rooftop views were not enough, what if there was sausage involved? Yeah, we thought that might do the trick. Dogtown Beer & Sausage Fest. Saturday, Aug. 31 from 2-10 p.m. at Dogtown Brewing Co.
Three Virginia bluegrass bands, a variety of food and drinks to choose from, and so, so many happy people. Hmmm, the Routes of Rhythm Mini Bluegrass Festival doesn’t actually seem so “mini” after all. Saturday, Aug. 31 from 5:30-10 p.m. at Pocahontas State Park.
