June 19, 2022, best known as Juneteenth/Freedom Day, marks the 157th anniversary of the arrival of Union soldiers and General Gordon Granger in Galveston, Texas. On June 19, 1865, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, the Union soldiers enforced the President’s order ending enslavement.
About six months after Granger brought the message of emancipation to Texas, Congress ratified the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution, formally abolishing slavery. Since June 19, 1866, freed slaves have marked the day to celebrate their independence. Juneteenth is also known as Black Independence Day, Freedom Day & Jubilee Day.
Truck Day will take place from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at the MCDOT Gaithersburg Depot, which is located at 17000 Crabbs Branch Way in Gaithersburg.

Twenty years ago, Kevin Munoz would help his parents clean an office building in Gaithersburg after they worked their full time jobs. They simply called the job “the part time”. Kevin would help his parents vacuum, take out the trash and any other work that was required to help ease the workload. Fast forward to today, he is now part owner (with his partner Demetra Eftimiades) of a 3,500-square-foot gym right next-door to this office building.
The gym, PEAKPT FITNESS is located at 16021 Industrial Drive Suite 6 (located off of Shady Grove, near Nordstrom Rack and Best Buy.) and is officially opening its doors to the public on May 21 2022.
