Join us for a grand opening ceremony to celebrate the WB&A Trail Patuxent River Bridge! This new, 530-foot bridge for cyclists and pedestrians connects Prince George’s and Anne Arundel counties. It links two previously isolated segments of the WB&A Trails from Bowie to Odenton, creating a continuous 12.7-mile stretch of the trail across Central Maryland.

Please note: Attendees are welcome to walk or ride their bikes on the trail for this event. The total distance from the parking lot to the bridge is 1 mile each way.

Do you wish to express yourself more? Are you looking for inspiration? Join us for this three-hour self-expression workshop. Participants will use prompts to discuss and engage creatively with one another and a life coach. Projects will include combining images and objects into a 3-D creation using pictures, paper, and clear gems.
