From a press release:
Hong Kong-inspired Tiger Fork in Blagden Alley is celebrating an extra-special Chinese New Year this year, which happens to be the eponymous Year of the Tiger, and the restaurant’s 5-year anniversary. From February 1-13, Tiger Fork will serve of a special a la carte menu of symbolic Cantonese dishes for both dine-in and takeout, each representing a specific virtue to bring good luck for the coming year. And during dinner service on Saturday, February 5, the festive restaurant will host traditional Lion Dancers, performing ceremonies to bring prosperity and good fortune in 2022.
In addition to Tiger Fork’s regular menu, Executive Chef Jong Son has created several dish specials designed to bring good luck in the New Year, available a la carte for both dine-in and takeout from 2/1-2/13:

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!
