For many, the highlight of the festival is a climb to
the top of the Piney Point Lighthouse tower. From the top, one can
see the Virginia shore, the Valero facility, St. George Island, and
the Piney Point community. |
Part of the morning program included remarks by Liza
Recto (at podium), President of the Chesapeake Bay Runner's Club,
who organized the Lower Potomac River Marathon in March that
encompassed the Piney Point/St. George area. Liza presented a check
to the Museum Division's Historic Sites Coordinator Lydia Wood to
benefit the Piney Point Lighthouse from proceeds of the marathon. |
