To cool things down, Bruster’s Real Ice Cream will be on hand to introduce their sweet & savory new flavor – “Maryland 375” – in honor of our state’s birthday, and also have a selection of their standard favorite flavors. “On A Roll” will sell hot dogs, the great American food, with a variety of favorite fixings. Take a chance at winning prizes at the Brown Bag Raffle and Silent Auction, including toys large and small, wine for the discerning taste, original artwork and prints, and the gastronomic delights from local restaurants. All of the children will be invited to help create a Thank You to Our Military banner, which will be presented to Captain Andrew Macyko, USN Commanding Officer. They will also be invited to use their talents in making “Maryland 375” birthday cards, to be presented to the St. Mary’s County, Division of Tourism. Continuing their quest for fun, children will also have the chance to participate in a coloring contest, make a bookmark, and play colonial games. As a special and sincere thanks, all those with a Military ID are invited to celebrate this event free of charge.
