News Around Town: It’s the final night for the Family Fun series at Crews Road Rec Center and it’s going to be a good one. CWF Mid-Atlantic stars will throw down on the wrestling mat, in full-on ultra-campy style (looking at you, Viva Las Amish) while Matthews families cheer them on. Practice your hollers and gear up for some wrestling (wrassling) ring rowdiness. Tickets are $5 for 18+ year olds, and $2 for under 18. Register here.
One Fun Thing: According to Brad Panovich, the ruby-throated hummingbirds are showing up early this year. One sighting was reported in Chester, SC, the earliest on record. Scrub and sanitize your feeders, make a batch of sugar water, and let the birdwatching begin.
