DELAWARE/MARYLAND - Some recurring summer events are getting another go this weekend. For some of them, it's your last chance to attend for the season.
MILTON SECOND SATURDAY
Aug. 12 is the final Second Saturday of Summer 2023. The monthly Milton Chamber of Commerce event is a collaboration with Grass Roots Rescue. The event aims to encourage people to shop local in Milton and Harbeson. It also highlights featured rescue dogs up for adoption. A two-year-old female pit bull terrier mix is the featured dog for August. Her name is Malin. Look for storefronts that have her photo. You can go inside of these businesses to sign up to win a 50 dollar gift card, compliments of the Milton Chamber of Commerce.
