12 Things You Could Do If You Win Our Sweepstakes

Just think—if you won our sweepstakes (which you can enter here) and received free dry cleaning for a year, what would you do with all that money you saved? Here are our ideas:

October: Attend Taste of DC in Washington, D.C. on October 8, 9 & 10

Taste of DC is the region’s largest festival featuring food tastings, wine and beer pavilions and several musical acts. Now that you don’t have to worry about the laundry, you could spend the weekend enjoying a craft beer pavilion, wine pavilion, culinary stage, farm-to-fork area, and family zone for kids. The best part: no feeling guilty about the money you’ll be spending!

November: Take a Thanksgiving Lunch Cruise on the Spirit of Washington on November 24

Don’t feel like cooking, cleaning and entertaining? Move the whole event to the Spirit of Washington—one of D.C.’s premier entertainment cruises! Enjoy a delicious Thanksgiving buffet with all your favorites while you get close-up views of some of Washington’s most monumental sites.

December: Splurge on a New Year’s dress from Misguided Angels boutique in Ashburn, VA

Named as the best local boutique for women in 2011 by NOVA magazine, Misguided Angels features fun and unique clothing and accessories that you won’t find in just any store. Buy yourself (or your significant other) a beautiful new dress that will definitely stand out at New Year’s parties!

January: See Ethel Merman’s Broadway starring Rita McKenzie in North Bethesda, MD on January 21

Start the New Year off with some of the most popular songs from the Golden Age of Broadway! Hear singer/actress Rita McKenzie belt out the numbers that the legendary Ethel Merman made unforgettable from the musicals Annie Get Your Gun, Gypsy and Hello, Dolly. Get the Broadway experience off-Broadway at the Music Center at Strathmore.

February: Send your sweetie a Valentine’s Day gift from Edibles Incredible in Reston, VA

Rated the best restaurant in Northern Virginia in 2011 in the categories Cupcakes, Something Chocolate and Baked Goods by NOVA magazine, Edibles Incredible is the best place to find a delicious and decadent Valentine’s Day gift. Choose a cake, cupcakes, fudge and other goodies for your Valentine and pick them up or have them shipped!

March: Attend the 12th Annual Shamrock Fest in Washington, D.C.

Although the date and venue are yet to be announced, be sure to mark this event on your calendar for March. Last year’s event included 40+ acts on 10 different stages as well as a wealth of food, beverage, Irish craft and sports attractions.  Be ready for the money you’ll spend on all that green beer, too!

April: Attend the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C.

The festival begins March 20, but the National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade isn’t until April 14. The parade includes live music from marching bands and other performers on floats with giant helium balloons and more. Bring the whole family!

May: See a concert at Wolf Trap Foundation of the Performing Arts in Vienna, VA

With musical concerts each month ranging from pop to country to dance as well as theatrical and multimedia performances, you’re sure to find a show you and your friends will enjoy. As the weather begins heating up, hit the outdoor seating at the Filene Center and enjoy a variety of dining options.

June: Attend the 5th Annual Northern Virginia Summer Brewfest in Leesburg, VA on June 23 & 24

Celebrate the beginning of summer at this festival or artists, crafters, food vendors and bands! The beer is going to be phenomenal, but there are plenty of other activities for adults and families that don’t revolve around the alcohol. There’s even a Designated Driver Ticket program for attendees 16 and older which includes free water and soda included in the price of the ticket!

July: Treat your family to fine dining at Indigo Landing Restaurant in Alexandria, VA on July 4

Make this Fourth of July special by enjoying the fireworks on the banks of the Potomac at Indigo Landing. The menu for the holiday is an outdoor buffet featuring barbecue, fried chicken, seafood and comfort-food sides like macaroni and cheese, but the real treat is the spectacular view!

August: Spend a day at SplashDown Waterpark in Manassas, VA

Make sure your kids get the full summer experience before they head back to school! Take them to SplashDown for over 11 acres of beaches, pools and slides. The park has something for the entire family to enjoy, and children 2 and under get in for free!
