October 4 is shaping up to be a busy day around town. Over at the Glenwood Community Center, a kids/teens only garage sale will be taking place inside. The sale will feature only kid/teen oriented items. If you have been busy cleaning out closets and have some things you would like to sell, tables are available for $10 per space. The sale will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, call 410-313-4840.

While the kids and teen sale is taking place inside, there will be a classic car show outside from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. If you own a classic vehicle, from 1972 or older, feel free to show off your car!

There is a registration fee of $13, and the first 50 cars will receive dash plaques. Trophies will be awarded to the best classic, street rod, muscle car, custom and a best in show award will also be given.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Glenwood Senior Center. Come out and look at the cars while reliving memories of the good 'ol days! For additional information, call 410-313-5440.

The University of Maryland, Central Maryland Research and Education Center's annual open house is also scheduled for Oct. 4. The Center is near the intersections of Homewood, Shepard and Folly Quarter roads.

The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is a great opportunity for the general public to learn about the University of Maryland's college of agriculture and natural resources. This year's theme is "Green and Sustainable." Many of the displays will show how the Center is going green, as well as how to incorporate similar methods into your daily living.

In addition, there will be hay wagon tours, horses, cows and calves for viewing, a pedal tractor obstacle course, a butterfly garden, an herb demonstration, and a Master Gardener plant clinic.

Many people don't even realize this local resource that is in their own backyard. Come out and see what this farm is all about.

For more information and/or directions call 800-342-2507 or 410-531-5556, or go to the Web site at www.hgic.umd.edu. The farm is located at 4240 Folly Quarter Road, in Ellicott City.
