The Relocation Kick-off began with a parade circling the property, of marching bands, local cheer squads, and balloons. Residents enjoyed great food from Mission BBQ, Taharka Brothers Ice Cream, and an array of Frito Lay snacks provided by Giant Foods and Frito Lay. Residents were entertained by stilt walkers, balloon twisters, face painters, with DJ “Mister C” providing festive music for the entire event. Baltimore’s favorite comedian Howard G served as the MC for the day and shared the stage with comedians Rickey Shakelford and Big Shorty. PNC Bank sponsored a raffle where three families won partial rental payments. The Fair was also attended by Council President Brandon Scott and Councilman Robert Stokes. Council President Scott noted that “residents were not only advised of which households would be moving and in what timeframe, but they also learned what their relocation options are, including their right to return to the new development and other relocation benefits available to them.
