Why You’ll Love It

• Great social outlet for companies
• All painting supplies provided; no experience needed
• Complimentary wine

Picture it: a paintbrush in one hand, a glass of Merlot in the other. Working on homework at La Sorbonne? Nope. Just putting the wine in “unwind” thanks to Uncork’d Art’s vino-fueled painting parties.

Mom in town for a long weekend? You and the girls tired of the same old bar scene? Spend two hours layering vibrant acrylic paints onto canvas as you sip robust reds or refreshing whites. Or make it a creative team-building activity for an organization you’re in. Who knows what mini masterpieces (and friendships) you might create? (Psst. The wine will help.)

Manassas, VA – TRY IT RACING – Feed Your Need For Speed…

TRY IT RACING

www.tryitracing.com

Why You’ll Love It

• Can you say “best Father’s Day gift ever?”
• Experience extreme speeds as a passenger or take the wheel yourself
• Get ready for the raceway with driver training

 

Red lights, speed traps, and driving-Miss-Daisy roadmates can eat your dust—this is pure, adrenaline-pumping acceleration at the Old Dominion Speedway. And yes, you can really get behind the wheel of one of Try It Racing’s late-model stock cars and let ’er rip. Best. Day. Ever.

Whose dad wouldn’t do crazy things to get behind the wheel of one of these speed demons? But just because it’s the perfect Father’s Day present doesn’t mean we can’t get our race on, too. And even if you aren’t ready for the driver’s seat, we’re betting the extreme speeds will be just as epic from the passenger seat.

So strap in, start your engines, and prepare to satisfy your need for speed. Your stock car grips the tarmac as you grip the steering wheel through tight turns and straightaways. Time to channel your inner Danica Patrick.
