BERLIN—The Berlin Parks Commission discussed at their Jan. 7 meeting, a proposal to invite the 229th Maryland Army National Guard Band to perform a free concert in Stephen Decatur Park later this summer, Deputy Administrator Mary Bohlen said. The preliminary date for the event is July 15.
The Parkville, Md.-based band, which is also known as “The Adjutant General’s Own,” performs classical, patriotic, rock, pop, jazz, fusion, and chamber music according to its web site. It has performed in multiple locations on the Eastern Shore, including several “concerts in the park” performances.
The judges for the Stephen Decatur Park Mural Contest have begun preliminary review of artwork that was submitted for possible inclusion in a mural intended to update the weather-aged mural on the racquetball walls that serve as a backdrop for the park’s tennis courts.
The commission members discussed ideas for recruiting sponsors who could provide or lend supplies and equipment once the application phase of the project begins, according to Bohlen. She gave as examples of the types of items that would be needed tarps and scaffolds.
Bohlen said the commission members decided to put the project to install horseshoe pits and game tables in Henry Park on hold temporarily. The members decided to wait until Public Works Director Michael Gibbons had a chance to meet with game enthusiasts supporting the project to collect logistical information on the optimum placement of the tables and pits.
