Trash Tuesday…..Please Join In For A Cleaner Community

Trash Tuesday

We are starting this effort in Kingman Park. Every Tuesday, we are cleaning in front our homes (side walk and curb area) If the houses on either side of you are not participating, please remove the trash from around those houses. If everyone participates, our community will be a much cleaning place!

Trash and Litter has environmental consequences. Wind and weather, traffic, and animals move trash and litter into gutters, lawns and landscaped areas, alleyways, and parking structures.
Trash and Litter begets trash and litter. Individuals are much more likely to litter into a littered environment. A clean community improves the overall community quality of life.
Please join me as we all work together for a cleaner community!

SHAMROCKFEST ’13- RFK Stadium Festival Grounds March 16

ST. PATRICK’S DAY AT SHAMROCKFEST ’13

Event features 40+ bands & DJs on nine stages on RFK Stadium Festival Grounds March 16

WASHINGTON, D.C. – ShamrockFest ’13 returns to the RFK Stadium Festival Grounds with a mix of musical legends, hot emerging artists and a jaw-dropping DJ lineup on Saturday, March 16 from 1-9 p.m. With nine stages and over 40 incredible live bands and DJs, ShamrockFest is regarded as one of the most popular St. Patty’s Day parties in America. General and VIP tickets are currently on sale at http://www.shamrockfest.com.

For eight action-packed hours, shamrock-clad partygoers can enjoy simultaneous live performances featuring rock, reggae, folk and of course Irish music throughout the massive festival area. Irish rock bands scheduled to perform include The Mahones, Carbon Leaf, Celkit, Scythian and the Fighting Jamesons while the indie band lineup includes Sublime with Rome, In Decision and Lost in Paris and others.

International icons DJ Skribble and BT headline ShamrockFest’s best ever DJ lineup in “Club Shamrock,” a massive party pavilion with plenty of dance space. Also scheduled to spin the turntables are DJ Enferno, Chris Styles and Pat Premier, among others.

With a carnival-style amusement area, huge-tented activity areas, food and craft vendors, an NCAA college hoops viewing tent and an endless supply of that most celebrated St. Patty’s Day beverage – beer, ShamrockFest has something for everyone. One of the crowd favorites, the Irish Village, features authentic Irish entertainers, local pub and restaurant booths and the infamous Shamrock Pub Games.

The RFK Stadium Festival Grounds are easily accessible by Metrorail on the Blue and Orange lines (Stadium-Armory station) and numerous Metrobus lines. On-site parking is also available.
