250th Anniversary Lecture:
September 6th marks Montgomery County's 250th anniversary, coming just two months after our nation celebrates its "semiquincentennial" as well. Over the two and a half centuries since its formation, "Moco" has undergone tremendous change-once overwhelmingly rural and agricultural, then mainly suburban and now urbanized in numerous spots. Whether you're a long-time resident or Montgomery County is now your adopted home, learn how truly different our county is today from early in its history, presented through a wealth of historical images comprising 25 "snapshots in time," highlighting major developments and key themes in the county's 250-year evolution.
Sara's Ice Cream Story:
The story began in the early '90s in South Korea when Sarah started making homemade ice cream for her daughter, Annie. After retiring in 2018, Sarah rekindled her passion for ice cream making, developing original recipes with high-quality, all-natural ingredients. Today, each of their three locations uses fresh, local milk sourced from Maryland farms, crafting all ingredients in-house, including cakes, brownies, and cookies. With a dedication to quality, they produce 40 flavors in small batches, avoiding mass production entirely. Their commitment to the community runs deep, as they actively support local schools, the YMCA, NIH Children's Inn, hospitals, and various nonprofits.
