On the evening of July 18th, Governor Larry Hogan and First Lady Yumi Hogan welcomed more than 150 guests to the grounds of the Government House in Annapolis for a special cookout promoting Maryland-grown produce, meats, and craft beverages, and the culinary creations of more than 25 vendors. The event served as the kickoff to the statewide “Buy Local Challenge,” which encourages all Marylanders to eat at least one locally grown, harvested, or produced product each day of the Buy Local Challenge Week, which is always the last full week of July.
