Out and About Town by Margaret Morkowski

Wednesday, May 13th from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm: Now that Winter is over… Point Richmond becomes a “Partying Town.” If it’s Spring, that means “The Stroll” will soon be here. Mark your calendars for The Stroll’s 20th Anniversary, we are moving the day and extending the hours. We’ll have three great bands including our own youth group, the Crunchy Frog. Also returning are The Dave Matthews Blues Band and the Key Lime Pie. Stop by all the shops, galleries, restaurants and stores in the Point to say “Hi” and visit. There’ll be lots of non-profit organizations around the triangle with great info. Please don’t forget to stop by the History Museum. Remember to bring the kids. PRAM and the PTA will have lots of fun things for them to do. Invite your neighbors, friends and family to help us celebrate the Grand Opening of the Point Richmond Farmers’ Market. For more information, please call Marsha Tomassi at 215-6133.
