SUMMARY:CANCELLED- Historic Ag Reserve Properties with Kenny Sholes
DESCRIPTION:Join Poolesville Seniors on September 21st @7pm for the next Historic Ag Reserve Properties presentation with local historian Kenny Sholes. The lands around us have played an important part in American history over the last few centuries. The fields we pass through each day have spurred economic development\, been the scene of battles\, provided escape from the pace of daily life\, and brought families together at the dinner table. Dotting this landscape is an array of impressive historic homes – standing as visual reminders of those who came before us.   \nIn this monthly series\, Kenny introduces some of the incredible historic homes in the Agricultural Reserve\, using the history of the homes to better understand the people whose land we have inherited and how their dreams\, goals\, and struggles were not all that different from ours today.   \nKenny Sholes was born and raised in Poolesville\, in the heart of the Agricultural Reserve. After graduating from West Point in 2006\, Kenny served as a US Army officer for five years\, to include two deployments to Iraq. Kenny is the creator of Foundry Admissions Strategies\, a small consultancy focused on helping high school students in rural America gain admission to our country's best colleges. Now living in Poolesville with his wife and two children\, Kenny is busy exploring Agricultural Reserve history and serves as a board member for the Montgomery Countryside Alliance. Kenny has an undergraduate degree in Economics from the US Military Academy at West Point\, and a Master's degree in Public Policy from Princeton University.   \n  \nHistoric Ag Reserve Properties September 2023

SUMMARY:Pop-Up Walk: White's Ferry Paw Paws
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever tried a pawpaw? These delicious local wild fruits are ripening this week. Join local naturalist Jon Wolz for a Pop-Up Paw Paw Walk on Thursday\, September 14th at 10:00 a.m. Meet in the White's Ferry parking lot and we will walk from Whites Ferry along the C&O Tow Path in search of this succulent fruit nicknamed the "poor man's banana". We'll learn how to find and collect these treats and hear about some of the ways you can use them.  \nThis walk will be less than a half mile each way along the Tow Path. After returning to White's Ferry\, join the group for a social get-together over your own lunch or one purchased at the locally renown White's Ferry Grill.     \nWear appropriate clothing (long pants) and proper footwear for walking through the underbrush since the trees are located close to but off the path. Bring a plastic bag/s to collect your pawpaws.     \nParticipants need to register on poolesvilleseniors.org prior to the walk. If you need to cancel\, please email info@poolesvilleseniors.org. The registration is limited to 15 participants.       \nSince 1970\, Jon Wolz\, the leader of our "pop-up" walks and our local expert on the C&O Canal\, has had a long history with the canal. Since 2015 Jon has volunteered as a level walker with the C&O Canal Association (COCA). His two levels encompass the area from White's Ferry to Monocacy Aqueduct.    \n  \nPaw Paw Pop-Up Walk: White’s Ferry Walk Registration
