Talented local artists, Tom Rogers and Dan Ropp, have created a spectacularly creative mural, inspired by the beloved Lewis Carrol book and the animated movie about a young girl named Alice who goes on a WONDERous journey (can you guess the book/movie name?). The mural provides anyone who views it with a visual journey through the WONDERS of Leonardtown and St. Mary’s County including local landmarks, figures and delicacies. Following the Ribbon Cutting will be a free movie screening of the animated classic adaptation of this beloved story for the big screen. The movie will be shown on the mural, which doubles as an outdoor movie screen. The evening will be hosted by Leonardtown’s very own Alice! Come dressed as your favorite WONDERLAND character, have your picture taken with Alice and enjoy activities, food and movie fun!
