“Who would have thought, 10 years ago that we would still have the energy that we started with?” asked this year’s master of ceremonies Kelsey Bush, Youth & Local Management Board Coordinator  for St. Mary’s County and also Commissioner of Maryland Commission of Black History.

Officials spoke and participants shared breakfast, but as always it was the young people who delivered the energy.
