The date for the third annual Columbia Heights Day has been set -- this year's iteration will be August 29 on the field at Harriet Tubman Elementary School at 11th and Kenyon Streets NW (across the street from Wonderland). Organizers tell us this year's fest will feature live music, dance groups, eating contests, local businesses, kids' activities, and more, including a petting zoo. Last year's Columbia Heights Day was pretty fun, with the petting zoo featuring a camel, and a cupcake eating contest featured some local politicians -- council candidate Patrick Mara held his own eating the cakes, while Jim Graham and Carol Schwartz performed various hosting/hanging around duties. And FYI, Columbia Heights Day still accepting applications for local businesses and restaurants, community groups, and craftspeople who'd like to participate: go to their website or email columbiaheightsday[at]gmail[dot]com

Hopefully this annual party will bring some action to reducing the crime in the Col'i Highs
hilarious, people. do you pride yourselves on coming up with lame sarcastic quips instead of getting off your a** to do something to maybe make it better?
Yea, you're right. Im going to mortar the petting zoo with a water balloon slingshot from my roof.

(It can't get no worse.)

Dodgecitydave and Candi Rue - please keep Columbia Heights clean by never coming to it. In fact, please move out of the city - far far away where you won't have to deal with people. Why peeps gotsta bitch about everything?
This will be the 2nd time in the 3 year history of Columbia Heights Day I will be missing it as I'll be out of town, which sucks because I want to help make it a success.
