“Community Foodworks is pleased to announce that the Columbia Heights Farmers Market and Brookland’s Monroe Street Farmers Market will open this Saturday, April 22.

The Columbia Heights Farmers Market, now entering its seventh season, will bring fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, coffee, meats, eggs, cheese, and prepared food to the Columbia Heights Civic Plaza from 9am to 1pm every Saturday through December. Swing by this Saturday and say hi to your favorite farmer, pick up some tacos or dumplings, and stay for the joyous jams of Lady Hatchet!

Entering its fourth season, Brookland’s Monroe Street Farmers Market will bring neighborhood favorites and a crop of new faces to the Arts Walk and Plaza. You can expect to find fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, pickles, coffee, teas, and prepared food. Opening Day activities are scheduled for every hour of market! Join us for yoga with Bluebird Sky Yoga at 9am, face painting and balloons at 10am, a children’s theater performance by Only Make Believe at 11am, and a Hula Hoop class by Dance Place at 12pm. We hope to see you there!

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
