07/27/24 - Member Appreciation Event - Clements, MD
The Southern Section hosted a Section Membership Picnic at Bowles Farm. The event, which drew 75 members, their families, and friends, was a resounding success, offering a perfect blend of delicious food, activities, and member interaction. Bowles Farm provided a delectable spread including hot dogs, hamburgers, a selection of sides, and desserts. But what would a picnic in Southern Maryland be without steamed crabs, freshly steamed on-site by Robbie Newton of Hollywood, Maryland. Door prizes were awarded throughout the day and there was a 50/50 drawing. We look forward to next year's event!
