Scheduled to appear alongside an A-list of Maryland pols are District Mayor Adrian M. Fenty, Pennsylvania Gov. Edward G. Rendell and possibly Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine, depending on a scheduling issue.
Money raised at the Wednesday night event at Iguana Cantina in Baltimore will benefit Democratic efforts in Maryland this fall. Admission is $50.
Among the home-state Democrats planning to attend, according to state party officials, are Gov. Martin O'Malley, U.S. Sens. Barbara A. Mikulski and Benjamin L. Cardin and U.S. House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer.
Maryland Republicans, meanwhile, are planning to gather this afternoon for their "3rd Annual Picnic Under the Tent," with proceeds going to GOP efforts in the state this fall.
The guest speaker for the event, at a farm in Davidsonville, is Everett Alvarez Jr., a former U.S. prisoner of war in North Vietnam.
Tickets start at $100 a person. Children can attend free.

O'Malley, Brown Collect
Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) and Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown (D) raised more than $1 million last week at their largest fundraiser since their 2006 election, an aide said.
Tickets to the Tuesday night event at Silo Point, a newly renovated historic building in Baltimore, started at $4,000. The minimum price of admission was $250.
O'Malley and Brown have done some fundraising during their 18 months in office, but this event was the largest single-night take for their reelection effort in 2010.
