“Start your engines and prepare for some spooky family fun during Boo Drive Thru, sponsored by Mars Wrigley, a special edition of our children’s trick-or-treating event!
Hosted by Friends of the National Zoo (FONZ), Boo Drive Thru will be held October 24 and 25 from 4:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. Pack your car full of ghouls, ghosts, princesses and superheroes and cruise down the Zoo’s North Road, all in support of FONZ’s mission.
“Boo at the Zoo is one of our most beloved events, and we wanted to be sure that children around the D.C. area have the opportunity to trick or treat at the Zoo this year–while focusing on safety,” says FONZ Executive Director Lynn Mento. “That’s why Boo Drive Thru was born. The whole family can still dress up, see some Halloween sights, and get plenty of delicious candy, all without leaving the car.”
On your drive, you will see witches, vampires, Count Pandula and other supernatural sights — and get a fun photo opportunity — before receiving treat bags stuffed with M&Ms, Twix and more candy. It’s bound to be a fantastic time!
To learn more about Boo Drive Thru and to purchase tickets, visit here.
Boo Drive Thru will be held rain or shine. Car passes are valid only on the day you choose when purchasing them. Each car can reserve up to six treat bags. Only family-size vehicles will be allowed to enter.
CAR PASSES:
$45 FOR MEMBERS
$55 FOR NON-MEMBERS”

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!
