It’s hard to believe it’s already time for the kids to go back to school! Before you know it, we’ll be posting about football games and fall festivals. For now, embrace the spirit of summer with these weekend events.

If you haven’t made it out to the Wounded Warrior Dog exhibit yet, this weekend is your last chance. Check it out all weekend long at 108 N. Main Street.

There is, of course, the Union County Farmer’s Market on Saturday. Stock up on late summer produce like tomatoes, sweet corn or blackberries.

Crawl for Kids in Uptown Marysville

This Saturday afternoon, head uptown for the beer crawl for kids! You and your team will make stops at Leon’s Garage,  Half Pint, Fiesta Grande, The Ville Grill and Old Bag of Nails and get three pitchers of beer to enjoy, along with some live music. All proceeds (tickets are $50/person) will benefit The Elizaveta Fund to help families adopt orphans.

North High Tap Takeover at The Half Pint

After the crawl, head back to Half Pint to enjoy brew from North High Brewing. They’ll also have swag bags to raffle off. With each beer you order, you’ll get a raffle ticket, so better try them all to increase those odds!

Mini Comic Con at Marysville Public Library

The library is hosting their own version of Comic Con this weekend. Get ready for panel discussions, games, local artwork and more. Don’t forget to don your best cosplay gear for the cosplay competition!
