May Events!! (starting with lots tomorrow)
Baltimore Farmer's Market
There are so many May events in and around Mount Washington that we have been hearing about these last few weeks. Some of them have been featured on the Mount Washington Post already, but many have not gotten mention here. We thought that now might be a good time to remind everyone about some of the events for this month and also mention some others that are not in Mount Washington, but might still be good fun! Feel free to leave others in the comments below if you know of more events in May. Oh – and do not forget to buy tickets for the Swing into Spring Mount Washington Elementary School auction ASAP if you have not already!!
