Music in the Park event June 13 will benefit Glasgow Park

Mason District’s Parklawn neighborhood has to have one of the most active, committed community organizations in Fairfax County. Over the past few months, this group has launched anti-litter campaigns, clean-up days, and projects to improve Glasgow Park and the Parklawn pool, with much of these activities supported by a $5,000 Neighborhood Enhancement grant from Fairfax County.

The Parklawn Civic Association’s latest project is a fundraising to support new playground equipment for older children and promote the park as an excellent place for family parties and local playgroups.

Everyone is invited to Music in the Park, a family-oriented event Saturday, June 12, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. in Glasgow Park, 4050 Fairfax Parkway (3935 Arcadia Road), Alexandria, close to Bailey’s Crossroads. The rain date is June 13.

There will be two moon bounces, food, face painting, and live music. Several local bands (bluegrass, jazz, and country) will play, as well as the Glasgow Middle School chorus and orchestra. Vendors will offer arts and crafts, family friendly items, and fare from local restaurants. Several politicians have promised to attend, including Mason Supervisor Penny Gross, Board of Supervisors Chair Sharon Bulova, State Rep. Kaye Kory, and Mason school board member Sandy Evans.

Potential vendors interested in participating in Music in the Park, should call 703/508-8320.
