Did Someone Say Free Party?

On Friday, May 2 at 5 p.m., the MD Maritime Heritage Festival Block Party kicks off with Doug Segree playing from 5-7 p.m. and Virgil Cane playing from 7-9 p.m. in the parking lot of Fawcett Boat Supplies next to the Fleet Reserve Club on Compromise Street in Annapolis.

Annapolis Radio WRNR will be broadcasting live for happy hour. SpinSheet and PropTalk are among the party sponsors.

Free entry if you have an ID and a Verizon phone; $5 otherwise. Beer and wine will be for sale.

A number of upbeat local groups will be in attendance: the SpinSheet/PropTalk team, the "Green Drinks" gang, the Chesapeake Outdoor Group, the Jaycees, and the Friends of the Annapolis Maritime Museum (who will be testing your nautical knowledge for prizes in between beer-pouring shifts and songs).

There is a bridge built across Ego Alley for easy access to the Festival on the newly renovated Susan B. Campbell park on City Dock, where the MMH Festival will go on through Sunday at 5 p.m. The program is in the center of the May SpinSheet at the gate, or you can find the event schedule on line.

Come out and play!  ~ M.W.
