On Saturday, October 18th, 2008, Mayor Sheila Dixon, along with several of her staff members and Remington residents, kicked off the Mayor’s Fall Harvest at our own Village Green community garden on Fox Street. The Mayor spoke about the importance of greening efforts, highlighting the work of Roy Skeen and other GRIA members in turning the vacant lot on Fox into a vibrant green space in only a year’s time. Several residents were there to cheer on Roy as he was presented with a ceremonial shovel and rake, symbolizing the City’s support of the garden and others like it. In return, Roy presented the Mayor with a basket of vegetables grown in the garden, including carrots, tomatoes, and eggplants.

Remington’s second annual block party, RemFest, took place on September 20th on the corner of 27th Street and Huntingdon Ave.

The event was organized by the Greater Remington Improvement Association, with help from the Church of the Guardian Angel, the Greater Homewood Community Corporation, and many sponsors who donated time, money, and supplies.

Thanks to Charm City Cakes, H&S Bakery, Long John’s Pub, and Bill Cunningham for making generous donations that made the day possible. Also thanks to all the residents who helped set up tables, pass out food, and play music for the crowd. Most importantly, thanks to the crowd for showing up! We’ll see you all again next year.
