Come one and all to the new annual July 4th Brunch. It was so fun last year that we've decided to make it an annual event. Bring a dish to share, lawn chairs or a blanket and join the fun at McCathran Hall at 10:00 a.m. Coffee, juice and paper products will be provided by the Recreation Committee. Costume judging will begin at 11 a.m. for everyone...young and old. Then at Noon we will head over to the Woodward Park flagpole for the flag raising to hear our wonderful Muskrat Band and to start the parade. Historic Marker dedication will follow after the parade, speeches, bell ringing, etc...

Come join the Muskrat Band...

for its 40th year as the band in residence in Washington Grove. If you play or have ever played a musical instrument, dust it off and join the fun. There are no auditions, everyone is welcome and adults are NOT allowed to practice in advance of the first rehearsal :o) For more information, contact Eric Selby 301- 963-7073 or elselby@comcast.net Make the Muskrat Band your July 4th tradition!!

A plaque commemorating the history of Washington Grove will be unveiled at a ceremony in Morgan Park on July 4th between 1:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. In case of rain, bring an umbrella, as there is no rain date. The dedication will take place after the July 4th costume awards and bell ringing at McCathran Hall. The Mayor will drive the Town tractor to Morgan Park to lead participants to the ceremony. There will be a few short speeches and readings of poetry and essays. Refreshments will be served. Join us to celebrate our past and contemplate the preservation of our unique community and environment into the future. NB: Morgan Park is bounded by Railroad Street, Grove Road, and Brown Street.
