Later this month, thousands of people will visit Gloucester to attend the 40th Daffodil Festival. This milestone festival, scheduled for March 28-29, has some new additions, brings back some longtime favorites, and promises to offer something for everyone!

For Part 1 of this month's podcast, we sit down with Hunter LeClair, Gloucester's Tourism, Marketing & Special Events Manager, and Susan Ammons, the County's Tourism & Marketing Supervisor, to learn about what festival-goers have to look forward to! These two ladies, along with other County staff members, and countless volunteers, have worked many hours to ensure this year's event is a huge success!

The Gloucester County Educational Foundation has been raising money to support Gloucester County Public Schools for almost 30 years - and the main way they achieve their goals is by hosting an annual race. Fit for walkers and runners of all ages, this is an amazing way to fund teacher mini-grants and the Teacher of the Year program here in Gloucester. There's even an option to participate virtually, if you're not able to attend on March 14.

In this podcast, Helen Worthington and Michelle Stone share the goals of the Ed Foundation, details of the race, and share some of the ways this fundraiser has contributed to students in the past.
