[RP TownTalk] Riverdale Park Pride! What an awesome Saturday it was!

[Maureen Farrington]

Wow, Thank you, Dwight!  I can speak for the rest of the Wild Anacostias
(including RP residents Sue and Brian Mondeel) when I say it was our
pleasure to perform at the Festival of Lights again. It's one of our
favorite gigs of the year.

The Holiday Market/Festival of Lights is one of the best events that
Riverdale puts on.  Thank you to Jim and everyone else who made it happen!
