MTHA Recreation Program In Full Force

Tuesday, February 4, 2025

The MTHA has lined up numerous events for the backstretch community through March as part of its Recreation Program.

Many of the winter events will be held in the Laurel Park track kitchen or recreation room, but there also are trips planned for Greenmount Bowl in Hampstead, Md.; Arundel Mills Mall; and Fells Point in Baltimore. Another poker tournament is scheduled for March, and video game tournaments are planned for the end of each month.

Events tied to holidays during the period are also scheduled. Please take part in these events, some of which offer food, as we head toward the spring when more activities will be scheduled.

To participate in poker tournaments, contact Dan Mangum at 410-802-5798. For all other activities, contact Bryant Paz at 240-319-1892. Events are subject to change.
