A carnival with an anti-drug message for children has returned to the parking lot at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. L.E.A.D Fest, an initiative produced by the organization Law Enforcement Against Drugs, will be at the mall tonight through Sunday May 10, 2026. A parent or guardian must accompany children under 18, some rides require a parent to also ride along, only clear bags will be allowed into the carnival area, and no face coverings are allowed, unless required for a medical reason.
Tickets can be purchased online. It's intriguing to have an anti-drug event in a county and state whose leadership are strongly pro-drug. Worth contemplating, is why your elected officials want you to be zonked out on mind-altering drugs. Just say no!
Betcha there be at least one incident despite the "message" of the sponsored event... And btw, I was on the Mall yesterday a block away from the SS involved shooting, (didn't hear those shots but heard sirens non-stop for 20 minutes) so there is truly no place safe on this mortal coil anywhere.

DeleteWith the Carnival in town, I remind readers to lock their car doors and remove valuables. Without fail, vehicle break-ins spike whenever the Carnival is in town. Weird coincidence, right?
ReplyDeleteGypsies, tramps and thieves, they hear it from the people in the towns...
DeleteCher rules! Preach a little gospel...
DeleteAnd roll up the car windows!
DeleteThere will certainly be a gathering of clowns.
ReplyDeleteThen tell your parents not to show up.
DeleteMake sure yours stay home as well. . .
Delete9:24am I remember when crime was so low in the past, our County police devoted resources to "gyspies" and massage parlors.
ReplyDeleteI'll take the "gypsies".over the modern day shoot outs in MoCo. Where can one get a special massage these days?
I believe you can get one in Arlington.
DeleteNo need for this carnival to have a shooting gallery I guess.
ReplyDeleteThat will be the main event!
