Congratulations go to Bowie, Maryland for rolling out an exciting welcome mat for Key Ingredients: America by Food. The exhibition is at historic Belair Mansion, operated by the City of Bowie Museums, through January 5. In just the first week of festivities, more than 150 people enjoyed events associated with the opening of the exhibition. A symposium on Maryland foodways attracted participants from as far away as Delaware, New Jersey and Massachusetts. Speaker Mary Ann Jung appeared as Julia Child at an event at the Bowie Library. There are local exhibitions at the community's other museums, including "What Do Horses Eat" at the Belair Stables. And, the museum was greeted on its first weekend with the exhibition with three times the normal number of visitors!
