Annmarie Garden Sculpture Park & Arts Center is pleased to announce that “The GREEN TEAM,” a.k.a. the Piccoli Family of Owings, Maryland, has won the Grand Prize for the Summer Safari for GREEN. “The GREEN TEAM,” (Anne Piccoli and Ashleigh Piccoli) will enjoy a Family Fun package donated by the Chesapeake Beach Resort & Spa. The package includes overnight accommodations for two adults and two children at the hotel, four Chesapeake Beach Water Park passes, four milk shakes at Smokey Joe’s Grill, and two large one topping pizzas from Papa John’s.
The Piccoli family has earned the honor of calling themselves Intrepid Explorers of Calvert County! They visited all 20 sites included in the Summer Safari, stretching from the northern end of Calvert County all the way down to Solomons. Along the way they rose to the challenge and correctly answered 20 questions about invasive species, colonial history, natural resources, environmental preservation, and much more – all things GREEN of Calvert County!
Also worth mentioning are the following teams, Environmental Trekkers of Owings, Maryland, and the EcoCabras of Lusby, Maryland, who won praise and notice from the judges. Congratulations to “The GREEN TEAM” and all the other teams that participated in the Summer Safari for GREEN. Each participating team received a wonderful bag full of gifts and souvenirs from the participating sites.
