Nearly 400 people from across Maryland gathered in New Windsor for the mayor's down-home picnic. Dress was casual, with many favoring Western attire. Hay bales provided extra seating and the menu was all-American pit beef. Despite a wide range of political backgrounds, the atmosphere was downright convivial. Mayor Jack A. Gullo Jr. called the bipartisan party a time to put politics aside and gather together as a community. He promised no speech making or fund raising - the party was his treat.

They've given the famous Man in the Yellow Hat a name (Ted), but otherwise all is as it should be in the world of Curious George, a winsome big-screen adaptation of H.A. and Margret Rey's tales of a mischievous monkey and his innocent adventures. The animated film, which adds a few modern touches (a cell phone, for instance), but generally remains true to the original stories, introduces us to George in his native Africa. There, the little guy is a crowd favorite, charming, inquisitive, always with a smile on his face.
