A Site We Like

While we thank you for reading us for local happenings, we realize that you can't get all your news from our sporadic blogging. We'd love to point you in the direction of belair.patch.com that has been doing great work.
For example, they are the only place to get a list of road closures this evening. We appreciate the attention to breaking news without all the blood-pressure inducing comment boards of other sites.

Early Years Expo Looking for Vendors

From Harford County Government:

Vendors Needed for the Early Years Expo
The Harford County Department of Community Services Local Management Board, in collaboration with the Early Childhood Roundtable, is seeking vendors for The Early Years Expo, an early childhood resource fair to be held on Saturday, April 9, 2011 from 9:00am to 1:00pm at Abingdon Elementary School, 399 Singer Road in Abingdon.
The Early Years Expo is for local families with children ages birth to five years to learn about a wealth of early childhood related opportunities that exist in Harford County. The Department of Community Services Local Management Board believes in educating families about community resources and making the lineage between valuable services and the families they exist to serve. The better connected that families are to community resources, the more likely children will be provided with the building blocks of early childhood development.
Vendor Registration is due by March 18. Click here for the Vendor Registration Form. Vendors will be given the option of purchasing a table and ad space in the event program (see Vendor Registration Form for details). Event sponsorship opportunities are also available.
For more information, contact 410-638- 3166.

Odds, Ends

** The Fallston Walmart is slated to open on March 16, so maybe this will alleviate some of the traffic in Constant Friendship when shoppers realize that even after a facelift a few years ago, the Abingdon Walmart still is lacking when compared to newer stores. The Fallston Walmart will have groceries, and we're guessing a less insanely designed parking lot.
** The newly formed Abingdon Community Council has a new Facebook page, if you are social media-inclined.
** The "opening soon" Pelican Cove is sporting new signage.
** A sure sign of spring, the Rita's on Emmorton Road is now open.
** Abingdon Elementary is getting a new playground. Money is coming from the school, county, PTA and private donations (which are still being accepted). We are excited because let's face it, there is no decent playground in Abingdon.
