Elrich leads Blair by about 400 votes, but the county issued nearly 15,000 absentee ballots according to the Washington Post. I’m told approximately half of the absentee ballots have been returned.

In addition to the 300 free meals on opening day, this location will be participating in “Military Monday”, which gives active duty members of the military 50% off on Mondays and 25% on any other day with military ID. We were told the official Cafe Rio app offers great deals on a daily basis that includes great deals/offers multiple times a week. They’ll also be making a $2500 donation to Montgomery County Public Schools!


Restaurant

They’ve announced via social media that they’ll be opening this coming weekend, Saturday, June 30th.

​The restaurant description is “classic American cuisine with a touch of Irish.” Owner Macdara Mactigue has promised that Guinness will be served on draught.
