3 Days of Summer: Time for Some Pirate Talk and Free Food
When is the last day of summer? Not until you celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
by Greg Hambrick
Thar she blows! Today, Thursday, Sept. 19, you can throw an “Arrr!” at everyone you meet with International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
The last day of summer is Saturday, Sept. 21. Or, you can look at it this way: The first day of fall is Sept. 22. Patch has found something for you to do each day as we count down until summer passes us by.

Talk Like a Pirate Day celebrates the fun phrases and cool threads of the high seas of ol’.
The Chinn Park Regional Library in Woodbridge will be hosting a free Talk Like a Pirate Day event at 4 p.m. at 13065 Chinn Park Drive. Children in the 1st grade and up will learn how to talk like a pirate and possibly find some treasure, too.
At Krispy Kreme today, you can pilfer tons of free doughnuts. First, a pirate phrase will get you a free doughnut. But pirates in costume are going to get a dozen free doughnuts. Here is all the details on how to get the free Krispy Kreme booty. Locations are at 6332 Richmond Highway in Alexandria and 1891 Carl D. Silver Parkway in Fredericksburg.
Long John Silvers will be giving away a free piece of classic Whitefish when you say “Arrr.” Locations include 4301 Dale Blvd., Dale City; 7049 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church; and 1699 Carl D. Silver Parkway, Fredericksburg.
