From a press release:
“Skate, bike, run or hike your way into Anacostia Park along the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail in celebration of National Trails Day. On June 3, 2017 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Anacostia Park will host a National Trails Day event that is fun for the whole family.
Start your excursion at the Anacostia Park Skating Pavilion in Anacostia Park (D.C.) or at Bladensburg Waterfront Park in Bladensburg, Md. and enjoy “pit stops” along the way! With about 20 miles of scenic trail between both starting points, visitors that can make it to both ends and collect stamps or stickers from each pit stop win a FREE prize!
Pit stops will offer FREE interactive activities in which you can enjoy a scenic boat ride on the Anacostia River leaving from the Anacostia Aquatic Center at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 12 p.m. and 1 p.m.; experience close encounters with various aquatic wildlife that live in the Anacostia River; learn to fish with guided lessons; get bike tune-ups; feel the pelts of animals you may see on the trail; receive health screenings; participate in outdoor stretching and exercising lessons; and much more!
“With the extension of the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail into Bladensburg, Md., so many new people have visited the park,” Tara Morrison, superintendent of Anacostia Park said. “My hope is that someone who visits for the trail, sees and connects with the other unique resources that we offer and returns during the summer to enjoy it.”
Anacostia Park is a signature urban park that is actively managed to improve and protect the quality and resiliency of the Anacostia River ecosystem. For more information regarding pit stops along the way visit www.nps.gov/anac.”

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!
