Taste of Bethesda 2018 may have had biggest turnout yet (Photos)

Despite cloudy skies yesterday, warm weather and a lack of precipitation allowed for a tremendous turnout at the Taste of Bethesda. Just by my measurement, crowds remained heavy up through the last hour of the annual street festival, the biggest event in Bethesda.

The Taste of Bethesda is also a traditional stop for Montgomery County candidates for political office. With possibly the biggest crowd ever at the event, it was surprising that most candidates - unlike other years - failed to show up. I was there from around 1:00 to the end at 4:00, and the only candidates I saw during that time were myself and County Executive candidate Robin Ficker.
