1. Maryland Renaissance Festival returns this month. Here's how to get tickets. (foxbaltimore.com) — The Maryland Renaissance Festival in Crownsville kicks off this month, and nine of the 19 dates, including opening day, are already sold out. Tickets are only available online, and organizers suggest joining a waitlist for sold-out days, as extra tickets may be released the Monday before each festival weekend. 
2. Spatterdock (chesapeakebay.net) — Spatterdock, a yellow-flowering aquatic plant, is thriving in a retrofitted stormwater pond at the Belvoir Farms community in Crownsville, where it helps create wetland habitat and shelter for young fish. The article explains how its large floating leaves, rhizomes, and long-blooming flowers support both the plant’s spread and the broader Chesapeake Bay ecosystem.
3. Two St. Mary's Ryken High School Students Sentenced to Seven Days in Jail for Sex Offense Incident on School Bus (smnewsnet.com) — A disturbing school bus incident involving St. Mary’s Ryken athletes occurred while the team was traveling to Indian Creek High School in Crownsville, leading to criminal charges and, ultimately, short jail sentences and probation for two 18-year-olds. Investigators say video evidence and text messages documented non-consensual sexual contact with a younger teammate and attempts to manage the fallout afterward.
4. Commission to assess tragedy of Black youth at former reform school holds first meeting (marylandmatters.org) — Maryland’s new commission investigating the deaths of Black boys at the former House of Reformation in Cheltenham held its first meeting at the People’s Resource Center in Crownsville.
