Short work weeks
are something to celebrate, so make plans to do just that at Atkins Park Tavern in Virginia Highland this
week with a spirited paddle battle! The restaurant is setting Pong Wars in
motion starting on Wednesday, May 30 with single elimination rounds starting up
at 10:30 p.m. Sam Adams sponsors the fast-paced event that leads to a Sam Adams
tailgate grill and awesome cooler (each valued at $150) for first- and
second-place winners. Be there early to get a seat and get in the lineup!
Also coming up
in the neighborhood and celebrating 29 years of art, food and fun, Virginia Highland Summerfest 2012 will
be taking over on June 2-3. Visitors can shop for original art at the
artist market, enjoy great food, run the 5K and listen to live music presented
by 92.9 dave-fm. There’s also a KidsFest area in John Howell Park to keep the
little ones entertained. Look for the Atkins
Park Tavern food tent while you’re there. At this year’s festival, we
remember our friend Warren Bruno, owner of Atkins Park and Ormsby’s, who passed
away earlier this month. Warren was one of the original organizers of this
popular summertime festival.
