Piney Branch Elementary

Let's Play America is marking a milestone this month: on Sunday, September 13, 2026, from 1-5 p.m. at Piney Branch Elementary School (7510 Maple Avenue, Takoma Park, MD), the organization will host its 18th Annual Play Day — and its 50th Play Day overall since the movement began in 2009. The free, family-friendly event also falls on Grandparents Day this year, adding a special multigenerational theme to the celebration.
Let's Play America was founded in July 2014 by Pat Rumbaugh and Daniel Nakamura on a simple idea: everyone deserves time to play, every day. The organization's roots go back even further, to 2009, when Pat and Daniel helped found TakomaPlays!, a grassroots group of play advocates in Takoma Park. That group organized free play events and successfully petitioned KaBOOM! to designate Takoma Park a Playful City USA — a title the community held every year until the national program ended in 2017. Building on that success, Pat and Daniel launched Let's Play America to bring the same vision to communities across Maryland and the country. Today, the organization is often cited as a model for how communities can advocate for and promote accessible play for people of every age.
This year's Play Day brings a full lineup for kids and grandparents alike: Kidokinetics activities, a DinoRock live performance, games and crafts, a Touch-A-Truck display, a Mattel gift giveaway, and refreshments — all free to attend. Parents and grandparents are encouraged to get in on the fun themselves, not just watch from the sidelines, which is central to the organization's philosophy that play isn't just for children.
With the event landing on both a 50th milestone and Grandparents Day, there's a strong hook here for a story on community wellness, multigenerational connection, and the value of unstructured play — especially timely given ongoing conversations about screen time and disconnected communities.
I'd love to connect you with Pat Rumbaugh, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Let's Play America, for an interview ahead of or during the event. She's a compelling, energetic voice on the value of play for people of all ages and can speak to the organization's decade-plus track record and its plans for growth.

Please let me know if you'd like to attend, schedule an interview with Pat, or receive additional photos or background.
Thank you for your consideration!

Bringing Trusted Care Back To The Former Pet+ER Location

VivaVets Animal Hospital

Urgent Care Returns to Former Pet+ER Location: VivaVets Animal Hospital Now Open Bridging the gap between your family vet and the ER with Sunday hours, same day appointments available, and transparent pricing for Columbia pets. VivaVets Animal Hospital has officially launched in the iconic facility, but with a new mission. Founded by Dr. Kanwal Sharma, VivaVets is an independent, veterinarian-owned practice specializing in Veterinary Urgent Care and Lifestyle Medicine. The "Middle Ground" Your Pet Needs Most pet owners know the frustration of a Friday night ear infection or a Sunday morning paw injury. Your regular vet is closed, but the 24/7 Emergency Room warns of a six-hour wait and a four-figure bill. VivaVets was built to solve this exact problem. By focusing on "urgent but stable" cases—such as minor wounds, toxins, vomiting, and infections—VivaVets offers a faster, more affordable alternative to the traditional ER. What to Expect: • Sunday Availability: Open 10 AM – 8 PM (Closed Wed/Sat) • Same Day Appointments: No long wait hours for urgent care needs. • ER Technology, Local Feel: Advanced in-house diagnostics, state of the art digital X-rays, and ultrasound paired with a warm, independent clinic atmosphere. • Specialty Care: The hospital hosts in-person cardiology clinics every other Friday, eliminating the need for long-distance specialty travel for Howard County residents. • Lifestyle and Lifestage Medicine &amp; Beyond: In addition to urgent care, VivaVets offers life-stage plans to keep your pets healthy from puppyhood through their senior years. "We aren't just a clinic in a building; we are a part of this neighborhood," says Dr. Sharma. "We wanted to bring trusted, timely care back to this location so that pet parents never have to choose between their schedule and their pet's health." Visit VivaVets Today! VivaVets is now accepting new patients. Whether you need a wellness checkup or immediate care for a sick pet, the team is ready to help.
