Bostwick May Festival May 6th – sounds like fun for adults & kids!

Hi Forklift Fans –

Just thought that you would like to know about this May 6th event at the historic Bostwick House & Gardens over in Bladensburg, just a few minutes from Community Forklift.

From the website:

Take a step back in time to the eve of the War of 1812 with 1800s music- Caribbean drums, gospel choir and classical songs – children’s games, farm animals, 1800s trade and craft demonstrations, food – old time favorites, bar-b-que and Native American food – and heirloom plant and craft sale.  Browse the May Basket competition entries, take a springtime walk and let the kids play!

This is one of many upcoming events in the Anacostia Trails Heritage Area which will commemorate the Battle of Bladensburg during the War of 1812  (Bet you didn’t know that our local battle led to the writing of the Star Spangled Banner!)
