This Weekend in D.C.
Thursday, August 7th, 200817th Annual Doll & Teddy Bear Expo - This sounds like an interesting expo, especially since it is Around the World themed this year. This show is the largest showcase of dolls and teddy bears held in the United States. It is open to the public on Saturday, August 9 from 9am to 5pm and Sunday, August 10 from 10am to 3pm. It costs $15 for adults and $5 for kids under 12 (they can get in free if they were a scout uniform or globally inspired costume). It is being held at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel. There is also a trade only preview on Friday from 3pm to 5pm. I assume that means those in the related business and/or media.
Ladybug Release - This event is at 10am on Friday, August 8, 2008. It is a release of ladybugs at the National Museum of the American Indian. They are released into the Native Croplands area on the outside the south side of the museum.
SAAM I Am Family Day - This month’s Family Day at the Smithsonian American Art Museum is on Saturday, August 9, from 1pm to 4pm. The featured books are Market Day by Lois Ehlert and The Decoy by Nathaniel Lachenmeyer. There will be a craft activity as part of the program. Also, the usul scavenger hunt activity is available.
