Today's riddle: What do you call cows dancing in the dark 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Maryland senator's encounter with Annapolis police deepens unanswered questions (foxbaltimore.com) — Questions are mounting in Annapolis over how city police handled an August incident where state Sen. C. Anthony Muse struck a parked car and left his SUV against a tree during a special legislative session. Newly released body-camera footage and records show no sobriety test was given despite concerns raised in 911 calls, prompting scrutiny of officers' decisions and communication among city and state officials.
2. Home Improvement Ideas Take Center Stage at Free Annapolis Expo (eyeonannapolis.net) — A free Home Owners Expo is coming to the Byzantium Event Center on Riva Road in Annapolis September 26–27, bringing dozens of contractors, seminars, and family activities under one roof. You can browse remodeling ideas, attend sessions on downsizing and aging in place, enjoy pumpkin decorating and a petting pen, and even tour a tiny house container, all with free admission and parking.
3. Watermark Offers Annapolis Explorers Day Camp for Students on School Days Off (eyeonannapolis.net) — Families in Annapolis can now register elementary-age children for Watermark's Annapolis Explorers Day Camp, held on several upcoming school days off starting September 21. The full-day program sends kids on local field trips, cruises, and hands-on STEM and history activities that highlight the city's colonial past and Chesapeake Bay environment while keeping them active and engaged outside the classroom.
4. Annapolis Scuba Diver Nets $50,000 Powerball Prize (southernmarylandchronicle.com) — An Annapolis repairman who rarely plays the lottery just turned a single Powerball quick-pick from the Wawa on Busch's Frontage Road into a $50,000 prize. After double-checking his numbers online and sharing the surprise with his wife, he claimed the winnings in Baltimore and says he'll take his time deciding how, or whether, to splurge.
5. A Better Annapolis Weekend Starts by Staying Close to the Water (eyeonannapolis.net) — If you're planning a weekend in Annapolis, this guide suggests parking once near downtown and building your days around City Dock, the Naval Academy, the State House, and Eastport. It walks you through a relaxed 48-hour itinerary, including updated Naval Academy ID rules, tips for navigating Navy home-game crowds, and ways to get out on the water without over-scheduling yourself.
