Good morning neighbor!

Tomorrow is 7/11 which means you can get a free Slurpee at participating stores (7-Eleven, Speedway, and Stripes). If you’re a 7Rewards member, you can get a Slurpee-activated temporary tongue tattoo, if you’re a little nutty. 🤣

In this week’s Fulton Flyer:

• Christmas in July at the Fairgrounds 🎅

• Bark Social’s making a comeback? 🐶

Some fishy business going on… 🦀

Watch this. “Inside Edition ordered crab cakes at five popular seafood eateries near the harbor in Baltimore. But when we sent our crab cake samples to an independent lab for DNA analysis, the lab results showed that two of the five samples came from swimming crabs not native to U.S. waters.” 🤣

If you see a bunch of fit people wandering around the plaza behind Ledo’s, that’s because they’ve been at Odyssey! 😁 They’re a strength & conditioning facility for all ages and abilities and I recently became internet friends with Niko and learned nearly all of my neighbors are members!

Local Business

Bark Social Columbia is returning 🐶

We Love Pets LLC has acquired the Bark Social in Canton and Columbia and, presumably, will be reopening them in the near future. No word on when that would be but hopefully soon! I’ll keep you posted.

MD RennFest Tickets on Sale Soon 👑

Ticket sales this year will be completely online, none available at the gate. And individual ticket sales start August 4th at 10am - I tell you this because I had zero clue how popular multi-passes were because they were completely sold out in a single day with the online queue getting into the thousands. No idea how the individual tickets will be but here’s the link so you can be ready.
