CROFTON, MD (September 23, 2026) &ndash;<a href="https://www.d1sportstraining.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">D1 Training</a>, a leading fitness enrichment concept utilizing the five core tenets of athletic-based training, will celebrate the grand opening of its new Crofton facility on October 3. Located at 982 Waugh Chapel Way, Units A &amp; B, the new group fitness facility employs a sports-science backed training regimen led by certified trainers to help people of all ages achieve their sport and fitness goals. 
In celebration of the new location&rsquo;s launch, Crofton neighbors and residents are encouraged to stop by and meet the facility&rsquo;s team at its grand opening event on Saturday, October 3, which will feature a ribbon cutting ceremony with the local chamber of commerce, free community workouts, facility tours, live training demonstrations, and giveaways, along with special one day only membership pricing and training packages. 
D1 Training Crofton is locally owned and operated by Michele Schmidt, who will join a roster of impressive existing franchisees, including former professional and collegiate athletes. Additional D1 partners include NBA star Chris Paul and Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow.
Schmidt is a proud Maryland native who spent most of her career as a licensed real estate agent. She runs her own real estate business and built her career serving her community. Looking for something that tied into her own core values of faith, family, and community, Schmidt found her perfect match with D1 training to help her community members build confidence and train with intention. 
&ldquo;As someone who has spent my career serving the Anne Arundel County community, I was looking for my next opportunity that would allow me to make a meaningful impact in people&rsquo;s lives,&rdquo; said Schmidt. &ldquo;Whether in real estate or fitness, my goal has always been to help people achieve their goals and feel supported along the way. I can&rsquo;t wait to welcome athletes and families into a space where they can grow and thrive together.&rdquo;
D1 Training offers four age-based programs including Rookie (ages 7-11), Developmental (ages 12-14), Prep (ages 15-18) and D1 Adult. Each fitness program is based on the five athletic-based tenets: dynamic warm-up, performance, strength program, core and conditioning, and cool down. Outside of group workouts, D1 Training offers group, semi-private, and one-on-one training with world-class coaches. The goal is simple: to continue to train athletes who are dedicated to their sport or fitness goals, regardless of age, or athletic background. 
&ldquo;Michele is the ideal candidate to bring the D1 Training experience to Crofton,&rdquo; said the brand&rsquo;s Chief Operating Officer, Dan Murphy. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re thrilled to welcome her to the D1 family and are confident in her ability to show the Crofton area what they&rsquo;ve been missing out on. D1 is a one-of-a-kind fitness experience that&rsquo;s built around the individual and meant to help people meet their athletic goals. Our strong network of franchisees embodies our core values to bring the D1 Training vision to life, and we know Michele will do just that in Crofton and its surrounding communities.&rdquo; 
Strategically expanding across the nation through franchising, D1 Training has more than 150 facilities open with over 100 additional locations in various stages of development. The brand is currently seeking financially qualified business builders, former athletes, and entrepreneurs, who share a passion for fitness and youth sports, who are ready to make a positive impact on their community.

Maryland State Fair Grounds

Trifecta Food Truck &amp; Music Festival, Baltimore County’s ultimate end-of-summer party, returns to the Maryland State Fairgrounds on Saturday, September 26, bringing together great live music, incredible food, family-friendly activities and thousands of festival-goers for a full day of fun.
Since its debut in 2016, Trifecta has become a Baltimore-area tradition and the go-to destination for music lovers, foodies and families looking to celebrate the end of summer. At a time when many local festivals have been canceled, scaled back or disappeared altogether, Trifecta continues to go strong — thanks in large part to the overwhelming support it has received from the Baltimore-area community.
That support has allowed Trifecta to remain committed to what it has always been about: bringing people together for an affordable day of great music, great food and fun for the entire family.
And at a time when ticket prices for live events have skyrocketed, Trifecta continues to offer an extremely fair and affordable ticket price for everything included — 10 bands, two main stages, 30+ food trucks, family activities and an entire day of entertainment.
This year’s festival will feature 10 amazing tribute and cover bands performing across two main stages headlined by Several Species: The PINK FLOYD Experience, who's celebrating 30 years as a band. To commemorate this impressive milestone, we will be featuring a Laser Light Show &amp; Quadraphonic Surround Sound for the first time ever at a festival! What's a festival without food? Trifecta gathers&nbsp; 30+ of the area’s favorite food trucks like Jimmy's Famous Seafood, Wanna Pizza This, Greek on The Street, and&nbsp;Cousins Maine Lobsters&nbsp;offering everything from classic festival favorites to unique local specialties.
There’s plenty for the entire family, including a mechanical bull, rock climbing wall, bounce houses and more.
Many longtime Trifecta attendees say the festival has the feel of “the old Preakness days” — a place where friends can bring their pop-up tents, settle in for the day and enjoy great music and good food while hanging out with friends.
With music running throughout the day and activities for all ages, Trifecta is more than a festival — it’s a Baltimore County end-of-summer tradition that has continued to thrive because the community continues to support it.

Saturday, September 26 Maryland State Fairgrounds 12:00 Noon – 10:00 PM FREE PARKING

The Gampopa Center is a spiritual community, where we learn

Gampopa Center

The Gampopa Center is a spiritual community, where we learn and practice the teachings (philosophy, meditation, and science of mind) of the Buddha. Our Dharma center holds a variety of spiritual practices, ranging from meditation to philosophical study and sadhana practices. Rooted in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the Gampopa Center draws on the teachings and practices of countless realized figures across many different lineages and schools of thought. When it comes to Dharma studies and activities, we consider ourselves as nonsectarian followers of the Buddha, whereby we invite Dharma teachers from all major traditions of Buddhism, to teach Dharma in ways that preserve those different traditions. However, when we are doing more serious and specific Dharma practices, we follow the Kadam masters and the Kagyu lineage of Vajrayana. The Gampopa Center is located at 1831 Forest Drive, Suite C, in Annapolis, Maryland. Founded by Lama Phurbu Tashi Rinpoche, the center serves as a welcoming space for individuals to explore the philosophy and science of mind through the authentic teachings of the Buddha. By providing a physical sanctuary in the heart of Annapolis, the center fosters a supportive environment for local practitioners and visitors alike. Visitors can expect a compassionate and inclusive atmosphere that emphasizes practical wisdom for daily life. All are welcome
