The Commissioners of Leonardtown invite all local residents, businesses and organizations to join the live audience in the Square for Fox 5 News ZIP Trips this Friday, August 7 between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. Families, friends, co-workers and employees are can be on TV, receive free giveaway items and enter a raffle for a new Mazda. No need to RSVP – everyone welcome to come, wear matching shirts that advertise their organization, and bring signs to say “Good Morning” to everyone watching throughout the region. This is a “drop in” event; audience members may come at any time and are not required to stay for the duration.
Fox 5 spotlighted Leonardtown five years ago with a similar program Hometown Fridays, and interviewed local residents Ernie Bell and Kennedy Abell in addition to then-Mayor Chip Norris and Town Administrator Laschelle McKay. This year’s ZIP Trip is part of the weekly Friday series that includes areas like Rockville, Alexandria, Frederick, and St. Michael’s; Leonardtown is the only stop in St. Mary’s County. The team in the Square on Friday will include on-air personalities and crew who will film live remotes at local businesses, and highlight areas around Town such as the Port of Leonardtown Park, the Historic Leonardtown Square, and the Leonardtown Wharf Park.
The Town Square around the War Memorials will be closed to traffic and parking from 4 a.m. until 12 noon. Please see inset map and follow signs to event parking.
