and more! And don’t worry, the teachers will have some time to play with hands-on activities, just like students. This is a
<b>FREE </b>event, but teachers need to register by <b>Tuesday, February 23. <br>
<br>
The Plummers’ Kitchen, Sunday, February 28, noon-3:30 pm</b> The Riversdale Kitchen Guild is always cooking up something yummy and this Sunday, the recipes celebrate Black History Month and highlight foods popular among Riversdale’s Plummer family and other
African Americans in Maryland. Step into the toasty open hearth kitchen and watch the demonstration throughout the afternoon. Be sure to grab a copy of the recipes so you can try it at home, 21<sup>st</sup> century-style! Fee includes guided tour of the house
& reservations aren’t required. <b>$5 adult, $4 senior, $2 students, FREE 4 & under.
