Looking for things to do this weekend in Savannah? Well, Savannah has always been really diverse in the different events that it holds, and this weekend is no different. Here are 3 different events going on this Saturday and Sunday, August 28-29:

First off, there’s the Poker Run (Southern Custom Motors, 6546 Ga. 21, Port Wentworth) at 10 am on Saturday. What’s your game? Texas Hold ‘Em? If so, you may want to try your hand at this event, while giving to a good cause. Abate of Georgia, District 11 and U.S. Military Vets MC are promoting the Poker Run. All poker hand money goes to the winners, while proceeds from door prize tickets and 50/50 tickets will benefit the Wounded Warriors Project. Your first hand is $15, and additional hands $5.

Next up, there’s a Fish Fry at the American Legion Post 154 on Sunday from 12-5 pm. Honestly, a fish fry is one of my favorite activities. Nothing beats a hot plate of freshly fried fish! The Tybee Island Veterans Memorial Committee is hosting the event and there will be live music, a 50/50 drawing and a basket of cheer will be raffled. Admission is $10 and that’s definitely worth it!

Lastly there’s the Charity Dog Wash on Sunday from 9-5. I don’t know about you, but any time that I can get someone else to wash my dog for me, I’m jumping on the chance! He has WAY too much energy for me. This event is sponsored by and held at the Southside Animal Hospital. Local volunteers will wash, towel dry and place a bandanna on your furry friend. Proceeds benefit Spay Panama’s Animals Yes, USA. The cost is only $10, which is half the price of most groomers or vets. Bring your pooch for a good cause!

A weekend of fun and supporting good causes. How very civic.
