Babysitting Co-op - Parents interested in becoming part of a babysitting co-op are invited to call Lori Childs at 301-277-3357. By joining a co-op you can get a morning or afternoon for shopping or appointments while your infant or toddler gets a chance to know other children. Riverdale Park Day Vendor Applications - Town organizations or non-profits are invited to apply for space at Riverdale Park Day on Saturday, October 7, with no fee required. For profit businesses can arrange for space at a fee of $15 per table. For an application, call the town office at 301-927-6381. Asian Tiger - Our wet summer has expanded the population of the Asian Tiger mosquito. Residents are reminded to continue to empty bird baths, children's pools, and any item in your yard, small or large, that contains water. This is the primary way to combat these fiercely-biting pests by limiting their population growth. Maryland Cooperative Extension Service - Town gardeners can receive helpful answers to their garden questions from the Extension Service by calling 1-800-342-2507, Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm.
