Warm Weather, Tax Free Shopping, Walmart Not So Bad?

It's Tuesday, August 13. Here's what you need to know.

1. WEATHER & TIDES »  Expect intermittent sunshine between thunderstorms Tuesday, with forecasts calling scattered storms throughout the day. Read more here.

If you're looking to hit the water, know that Tuesday's tides in Havre de Grace are as follows: high tide at 2:56 a.m. and 2:47 p.m.; low tides at 10:03 a.m. and 9:18 p.m. Find tides around the Bay by searching here.

2. AROUND TOWN » It's tax free shopping week in Maryland with clothing and footwear exempt from the state sales tax. There are also event opportunities around town. Find more here.

Got an event you're trying to promote? Whether it's registration for little league or a show your band is playing, a great way to start would be adding it to the Bel Air Patch calendar.

3. YOU SAID IT » Patch user Tracey ponders the benefits of having a Walmart just down the street in Constant Friendship.

"I will miss Walmart being so close, try it people of Bel Air, you might grow to like it," Tracey writes. Find Tracey's full comment and join in the conversation here.

Got something you want to say? Something you want to sell? Post it on our boards or leave a comment on a story! Who knows? Maybe we'll feature it in one of these round-ups.

4. WHAT YOU MISSED » You may have missed photos from the Maryland State BBQ Bash in Bel Air and Havre de Grace Seafood Festival.

There are some great photos here, if I do say so myself. You should definitely give your eyes a treat and check them out. Have your own pictures from the events? Email them to harfordcountymd@patch.com.
