Get Into Mallows Bay Day

Saturday October 7 was a beautiful day for "Get into Mallows Bay Day!".  The sign at the left shows the various organizations that sponsored the event.  CCASM was one of the sponsors.

It was 4th annual trash clean up at Mallows Bay Park co-sponsored by the Alice Ferguson Foundation.  (The Alice Ferguson Foundation has been cleaning up the Potomac for twenty-nine years.)

But there were also other activities - a bird walk by the Audubon Society, two heritage and history walks with Don Shomette,  and kayak tours for families and for the general public.  Someone had donated money so that kayaks could be available at no charge for the kayak tours.

And there were also a number of tables related to archaeology (both on land and in the water), fossils, fish identification, and reptiles (a snake and a turtle).  CCASM had the two tables related to terrestrial archaeology.

Identifying Artifacts
Thanks to Denise and Carol for staffing the table.  They had a good time talking to people and giving out stickers to anyone that completed the artifact activity.
