Friday Finds

The weekend is upon us and you’re probably looking for something to do. Well you’ve come to the right place. With a cold drink in my hand (because it’s still so stifling hot outside) I present to you our Friday Finds:

Belmont Through a Lens
The photographs of Benjamin Johnston will be on display at Gari Melcher’s Home and Studio, at Belmont Plantation in Falmouth, on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Admission is $10 for adults. Students will be admitted free with accompanying adult.

Occoquan River Festival
The 2010 version of this festival kicks off at noon Saturday, with live music, the Taste of Occoquan, games, a petting zoo, boat tours and other family fun. The events last until 7 p.m.

Powell’s Creek walk
You can come and hike along Powell’s Creek at Leesylvania State Park  in Woodbridge on Sunday. You can meet a Park Ranger at the Powell's Creek trail head for the hour-long walk, at 11 a.m. and at 2 p.m.

The trail takes you past the wetlands, where you’ll learn how the forest is involved in the water cycle. Plus you’ll get to go to the overlook peering out at Powell’s Creek.
