Highlights for April 8 to April 15
It’s springtime in Jefferson County and that means things are blooming. To celebrate, Charles Town is throwing a party downtown this weekend, starting with the opening of the Charles Town Farmers Market Saturday morning at 9, followed by the Blooms & Blossoms festival downtown at noon, and wrapping up with an evening pub crawl. Saturday is also National Record Day, so stop by our local record shops for some new vinyl releases.
If you’re into music, swing by Shepherdstown on Saturday night. The Brothers of Harmony will be crooning at the Fire Hall. The Shepherd University Wind Ensemble will a more sedate performance. If you’re more of a rock and roller, check out Keyth Jones and CassieRay at the Shepherdstown Opera House.
It’s almost Easter — and that means egg hunts! You can find a couple this weekend, and more to come next weekend.
