Resident announces vintage boat races, Flag Day ceremony and Leonardtown Lions festival in St. Mary's County

A resident who spoke during the St. Mary's County meeting announced three upcoming community events: vintage boat racing at Piney Point on the weekend of the seventh and eighth, a Flag Day ceremony on the 14th at 6 p.m., and the Leonardtown Lions Club's scribe festival at the county fairgrounds beginning about 10 a.m., the speaker said.

The announcements included brief details about each event and appeals for public participation. “We're having a vintage boat racing that will take place this weekend, the seventh and eighth at Piney Point at the boat landing,” the resident said, adding that organizers expect “6 to 8 of these large hydroplanes” and that the exhibition will not include qualifying races but will demonstrate how the boats performed in past race courses.

On Flag Day, the speaker said a ceremony will be held locally at 6 p.m.; the resident noted the American Legion post will perform a formal flag retirement and disposal ceremony and said the post typically collects “5 or 600 or more every every year from people.” The resident also said the Leonardtown Lions Club is holding a scribe festival at the fairgrounds starting around 10 a.m. and that proceeds from the event go to charity.

The resident framed the events as community and charitable activities and invited attendance: “So, please participate if you can,” the resident said. No formal county action, vote or allocation of funds related to these events was recorded during the meeting.

Organizers, exact event sponsors, and specific contact or scheduling details beyond what the resident provided were not specified in the meeting transcript.
