Weekend event: Dam jam
Who says drinking water is dull? "Dam Jam 2011" on Sunday Oct. 2 aims to change that.
The daylong celebration at Cromwell Valley Park of Baltimore's drinking water reservoirs features live music, food, historical reenactors, wildlife on display and activities for kids, plus t-shirts and tattoos.
What more could you ask for? Oh, yeah, and there'll be a guided tour of Loch Raven Dam, with background on the history and inner workings of the region's three reservoirs.
Musical acts include Mosno Al-Moseeki, the "3rd World Rocker," Feinwood Jammgrass and Jeremiah Clark, who performs "alt-country Americana." City and county employees and local conservation groups will be on hand to present info on the importance of the region's waterways and what people can do to protect them.
Cosponsored by the city of Baltimore, Baltimore County and the Towson Arts Collective, the event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 pm.
Admission is free, and attendees are urged to bring chairs, blankets and picnic baskets to spend the day. The park is at 2175 Cromwell Bridge Road. For more information call, 410-396-500 or email kurt.kocher@baltimorecity.gov
