The event, humorously titled “A Christmas Story — White’s Ferry edition,” aimed to unite community members in advocating for the ferry’s return across the Potomac River.
The rally not only sought to emphasize the ferry’s significance to local residents but also aimed to urge key stakeholders, such as Rocklands Farms and the Kuhn family, to resolve longstanding disputes and work towards a solution that benefits the entire community. Attendees had the opportunity to hear from the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present, and Future, who shared their perspectives and supported the cause.

Fun activities for all
To enhance the rally experience, the White’s Ferry Grill was open, offering a delightful selection of treats. One of the day’s highlights was the complimentary hot chocolate for all participants. This gesture aimed to foster a warm and inviting atmosphere, encouraging attendees to engage with one another while enjoying a festive beverage.
In addition to delicious food and drinks, the rally featured signs of support from the community.

This visual representation of support illustrated the community’s desire to restore this vital connection across the river.
