Members of the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office K-9 unit performed
a demonstration in front of over 300 children and adults. Sheriff's

This young man entered the watermelon seed spitting contest. The
best "spitter" in each of the three age categories wins a prize --a
watermelon of course!

One of the highlights of the event was a show by Reggie Rice, AKA
Super Magic Man. Reggie hands the magic wand to his volunteer to do
some of his own abracadabra!
