Events Calendar...

Just a few upcoming events that might be of interest to you...

Citizens for an Open Process for Everyone (COPE) is hosting a candidates forum on Monday, June 12 at the Terra Maria Community Hall in Ellicott City (map). The show starts at 7 pm and will feature candidates for county executive and the county council. Questions will focus on growth, land use and zoning, the most interesting and provocative subjects in the county. Sadly, I have no contact information for the event, but if you have any questions, shoot me an email and I'll see if I can find the answers.

Another candidate forum, this one involving the 3rd Congressional District, will take place on Wednesday June 14 at 7 pm at the Park Heights Jewish Community Center. The event is sponsored by the Baltimore Jewish Council.

Do you support family farmers? Just remember, in a capitalism-based, democratic republic the best way to make your preferences known is through your spending. And you'll get a chance starting tomorrow at grand opening of the Oakland Mills Farmer's Market. County Executive James Robey will give a short speech at 9:45 am and sales will begin shortly thereafter. The farmer's market will take place all summer at the village center on Tuesdays between 10 am and 1 pm.

Got any events you want the world -- or the tiny segment of the world that reads this blog -- to know about? Tell me.
