I would like to add that we here at the Riversdale House Museum hosted 145 people who arrived by trolley and toured the house. In addition to staff, we had 7 Riversdale Historical Society volunteers helping out, including Michelle Kretsch, who was in the Dependency Kitchen preparing historic hot chocolate and shortbread for our guests.
A special thanks to town councilman Dave Lingua, who helped everything run smoothly.

Just wanted to say that the Riverdale Park Arts Council gave away at least 200 cups of free cocoa during the festival that was gladly welcomed by all who enjoyed it. A big thanks goes out to Michael Sevener who supplied and set up a table and chairs for the Arts Council and to Ken Laureys who assisted in giving out the cocoa. It was a good day and so nice to see so many smiling faces:-)

One day last week when I was at work, my landline telephone decided to "die," and before it died, it apparently decided to dial 911 over and over!? That evening, neighbors told me the police were at my apartment, checking with people in the building, etc., to make sure that I was ok.?
I want to say a big THANK YOU to our police force -?wonderful to know they're looking out for us, isn't it??? -? and I'm very sorry for my phones' bad behavior (it's decided to work, again)!?

I just wanted to say that even though I was busy all day (as unpaid
employee and husband of the Soap Lady - conflict of interest duly noted)
and didn't get to walk around all that much, I think our annual Riverdale
Park Holiday Market & Festival of Lights is awesome, and this one was
easily the best one yet in our 8 years of involvement. (Gorgeous
mid-December weather didn't hurt, of course!) Great vendors, really good
music, and friendly throngs of happy Riverdalians and neighbors coming
through all day long all adds up to a wonderful event!)
I was particularly struck as the microphone passed from Marianna Previti
and her band to the Wild Anacostias at around 7 o'clock that it's
especially cool that our town and region has so many awesome musicians! Of
course, Miles Spicer had also performed earlier in the day, making at least
3 acts on that very talented roster of musicians who kept us jolly and
entertained all day long who hail from Our Fair City. (There may be others
among the musicians who I don't know who are also from RP...)
In addition to my lovely wife - conflict of interest duly noted above -
many of the talented artisan crafters at the market also hail from our
town, or from very nearby. So kudos to Riverdale Park AND the Route 1
Corridor. It's good to be us!
And finally this email would be incomplete without a HUGE SHOUT OUT to Jim
Coleman, our tireless farmers market manager and holiday market
coordinator. No question that this wouldn't have been half as successful
without Jim. (Also should be said, it would be great to see still more
volunteers to help out with different aspects of the Holiday Market next
year, maybe lighten Jim's load a little bit!)
Happy holidays to all!
Dwight Holmes

Nicely said Dwight! Thank you for sending out!
Great time as always, and I got my morning Chocolate Croissant that evening!

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!
