It's happening this Saturday, August 28. The day starts at 10:00am --with a little yoga to wake you up-- and is jam packed until 6:00pm, ending with a performance by DC's own Flex Matthews. Returning is the Sticky Fingers cupcake eating contest, which has proven to be a huge hit in the past. Also returning is the questionable petting zoo, which perplexes me. Not into this aspect at all. But, I digress. The dog show is back, which in the past was really just a parade of local dogs and their owners.
Make sure to get out early enough to catch the King and Queen of Columbia Heights contests. Prom revisited. Except we're a few years older and probably wider. I don't know, maybe you're one of the "changers"--people that got way more attractive after high school. I'm not. Luckily, I just stayed neutral looking. Anyway, I won't be entering the contest because I don't live in Columbia Heights, but if you do, strut your best stuff. No word on if they're requiring a slow dance between King and Queen.
Might a certain Mayor or Council Chair stop by? Who knows. I'm betting Jim Graham will be there at some point, though.
My highlights:
10:00a CH bike tour and scavenger hunt
11:45 Queen of Columbia Heights contest
1:00p King of Columbia Heights contest
3:30 Sticky Fingers cupcake easting contest
5:45 Flex Matthews
Full schedule below! Enjoy!
