The Gambrills General Store will hold a special open house event on Friday, featuring free food, craft projects and a small store set up for kids.
The open house will run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and customers will be able to browse the store, sip on some hot drinks and munch on a cookie or two.
Patch editor Tim Lemke will be on hand from 4-7 p.m. to meet local residents and hand out some additional goodies.
Anyone who spends more than $20 at the store or signs up for Patch newsletters will receive a free Patch tote bag.
