Sat 8/23 1pm, MOUNT AIRY, MD: Whine and Fleas (not wine & cheese) frisbee dog competition hosted by National Capital Air Canines at the beautiful Linganore Winery http://discdog.com/events/fleas/ (NOTE: website has the WRONG time! Set-up starts at 12 noon and competition begins at 1pm NOT 10 am). If you ever thought you might want to try tossing a flying disc for Rover to catch, this is the place to go (especially since you can taste some wine to make you brave) or else just marvel at the high-flying antics of the participants. If you have shade, bring it, since this is held on a grassy field and the shadow of a barn provides the only natural shade available close-by. However there is a pond a short walk away for your pooch to take a dip.
