Join us for a book talk and reading by the author of the Potomac Shores series, Carolyn McBride, in the Visitor Information Center at Occoquan Bay NWR. Occoquan Bay NWR is featured in both books, along with nearby parks and refuges bordering Belmont Bay and Occoquan Bay. She will discuss the literary and regional influences for her eco-fiction and share photos of the real Bonnie Brae described in the story.

Join Puzzle Palooza, Glory Be, and Mill Street Sweets for the inaugural Holiday Sip & Shop. Enjoy an evening of sips, snacks, and holiday specials at all three stores!
