Can you really pick up healthy, local food at a farmers market and adopt a dog in the same day?
You can over by Veterans Park in downtown Bethesda today!
While Sunday's Bethesda Central Farm Market has been canceled, this morning's FRESHFARM Bethesda Market will be open as scheduled, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
Don't miss a cooking demonstration by Chef Domenico Cornacchia of Bethesda Row's Assaggi at 10:30 AM at today's market!
Please note that the market will be a block further down Norfolk, in order to allow space for Strut Your Mutt.
After you shop at the market, head up to Strut Your Mutt, enjoy the parade, tour the vendor and dog non-profit displays, and even adopt a dog from one of the animal rescue organizations at the event.

BETHESDA WOMAN ADOPTS
KITTEN FOUND FROZEN TO
SEWER COVER
Feline Was Hit by Car in Sioux City,
Now Finding a New Home in Bethesda
Bethesda resident Gail Bancroft traveled to Sioux City, Iowa, to adopt Oliver, a kitten who fell victim to a series of unfortunate events in the streets of his city.
As one newspaper and several TV stations in Sioux City have reported, Oliver was apparently struck by a hit-and-run driver. Whether he was thrown, or simply staggered away and collapsed, is unknown. What is known is that Sioux City Animal Adoption and Rescue found Oliver literally frozen to a sewer cover, near death.
Miraculously, Oliver recovered.
The biggest miracle came when Bancroft - originally from Iowa - heard about Oliver's plight. Flying across the country, Bancroft adopted Oliver, and brought him back here to live.
The following newspaper didn't have the whole story, but does have a photo and video of Oliver and his new owner:
