KENWOOD FIREWORKS POSTPONED UNTIL LABOR DAY 2013 IN BETHESDA

A representative of the Kenwood Country Club tells me that the fireworks display that was canceled last night, has been postponed until Labor Day in September 2013.

Obviously, this is mostly disappointing news. And the weather was actually fine for fireworks last night, as it turned out.

The only positive is that Bethesda will have fireworks on Labor Day weekend, and they will be the same, high-quality Kenwood fireworks.

If you are a member of the club, the employee said you can place reservations for the rescheduled fireworks, dinner, etc., etc. beginning tomorrow.

BETHESDA PLACE SAFEWAY GARAGE TO CLOSE FRIDAY EVENING UNTIL TUESDAY MORNING

Alert to those who park in the Bethesda Place public parking garage off Woodmont Avenue:  the garage will close for the entire Labor Day weekend, starting Friday evening, August 31 at 7 PM, until Tuesday morning, September 4, at 5 AM.

This garage is utilized by patrons of the Old Georgetown Road Safeway, the Original Pancake House, and many other businesses and services within the Bethesda Place complex (which will all still be open).

So plan ahead for alternative parking arrangements, or park at another garage and take the Bethesda Circulator on the days it is running.
