What's in Store

There's been plenty of buzz about the second District Sample Sale, where more than 20 boutiques will sell their end-of-season wares and debut spring styles. Among the shops: Muleh, Denim Bar, Urban Chic, the Shoe Hive and the Purse Store. Cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and a raffle top off this event, which benefits SOME Place for Kids, a program for needy children.

Wednesday, 6-9 p.m. 3307 M St. NW.

$35 in advance, $50 at the door.
