Nalls Produce. Join me. I'm Valerie Nalls. Why don't you enjoy going to the
grocery store? Get out of those long, bone-chilling aisles. Come down and see me
at Nalls Produce and Garden Center where produce has mostly been on one truck
from the farmer's hand to your basket. Life's better with real food, real milk,
pasture-raised eggs. Get our recipes. We'd love to see you. We're open seven days a
week at 7310 Dula Street in Franconia. The Junior Rangers session 5, Eye of an
Eagle, begins Monday August 8th at 9 a.m. at Mason Neck State Park. This ranger-led
program teaches children ages 10 to 12 about nature through the eyes of an
eagle. Children will be encouraged to explore nature in depth by noticing the
small details. Registration is $50 for the first child, $40 for each additional
child. There are also daily free activities. Call 703-339-2380 or email

Gunston Plaza will offer extended evening hours August 11th until 6 p.m.
Bring a friend and beat the heat. There's a fitness room or you can play ping-pong.
It's free. Or brave the warm evening air to hear rain follows the plow at
Grist Mill Park Friday August 12th from 7 30 p.m. to 8 30 p.m. Attend and meet the
artist reception Saturday August 13th from 1 to 4 p.m. See Let It Rain original
paintings of Suzanne Jepsen. Also Saturday from 2 to 7 p.m. meet Roger Frye
painter and Tyler Cullingusky jewelry crafter at a show titled Warm and Cool

Evening paddle adventures start at Mason Neck Park 630 to 9. Sail the Belmont Bay
Coast and enter Cane's Creek. Sounds spooky. The cost is $15 for individuals.

That's all. Goodbye.
