Once upon a time, herring swam from the ocean every spring to spawn in the waters of Herring Run. The Herring Run Watershed Association, sponsor of the festival, seeks to restore the stream's water quality so it can once more host such a spring migration. The festival begins at 9 a.m.with a 2-mile fun run sponsored by the Baltimore Road Runners Club. An open drum circle will take place from 1 to 3 p.m.
All activities are free and open to the public.
Bring money for food, crafts, raffle tickets, and other items that will be for sale. For a complete schedule, call 254-1744. Updated by Allegro Web Communications on April 5, 2000.
