This week the weather has felt almost like fall — almost.

In the coming week, there are numerous activities to get you outside in Howard County as well as some that can be enjoyed in the comfort of air conditioning as a respite from the return of the summer heat.

From trivia to petting reptiles, you are sure to stay busy in the county for the week ending Aug. 29.

Head to Dive Bar and Grille in Savage Mill to show off your trivia skills while sipping on discounted drinks and learning new fun facts. Charm City Trivia, a live entertainment company, is hosting a trivia night that features $6 vodka bombs, $6 nachos and $12 buckets of Miller or Yuengling.

The event is free and participants must be 21 years or older.

Wallows concert

6 p.m. Thursday

If sitting back, relaxing and enjoying some alt-rock outdoors is more your speed, you’re in luck. Grab your favorite lawn blanket and head to Merriweather Post Pavilion to see Wallows on tour with BENEE.

The alternative rock band from Los Angeles began releasing songs in 2017, and is now on tour for their newest album “Model.”

Historic farmhouse tours

Step into a time capsule and learn about Howard County’s Brown family, who once lived in Mount Pleasant in the 1800s. The Howard County Conservancy’s History Committee will give two tours of the farmhouse and teach visitors about the history of the land and the people who occupied it.

The tours, which take place on two floors, are at 10 and 11 a.m. They are free and registration is required. There are no pets allowed, and anyone under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
