Public Invited to Walk, Run, Roll, or Bike to the dedication on the B&A Trail behind Big Bean in Severna Park

The Department of Recreation & Parks, Friends of Anne Arundel County Trails, and Bicycle Advocates for Annapolis & Anne Arundel County (“BikeAAA”) invite you to a brief dedication ceremony for Tom Caraker III Plaza on Saturday, June 7, at 10 a.m. The expanded and improved popular rest area on the B&A Trail in Severna Park, MD, is behind the Big Bean Coffee Shop and other shops (Address: 558 B&A Blvd, Severna Park). The event is free and open to the public. 
 
Tom Caraker III was known to many as the “Mayor of the B&A Trail” and a familiar, welcoming face to regular trail users. He consistently racked up the most miles biking the B&A Trail as an ambassador, greeting and helping regulars and newcomers to the trail. The Friends of Anne Arundel County Trails and Bicycle Advocates for Annapolis & Anne Arundel County (BikeAAA) raised money after his passing in Tom’s memory to expand Caraker Plaza.
