Friday evening, November 23, 2018

The annual Westminster Miracle on Main Street Holiday Parade hosted by City of Westminster Recreation & Parks Department has been cancelled.

The annual tree lighting will still occur at 6 PM in Locust Lane

The Miracle on Main Street parade scheduled for Saturday, November 24th, 2018 in Westminster has been cancelled. Unfortunately due to the worsening forecast we have cancelled the Miracle on Main Street Parade.

There is no rain date for this parade.

The Jingle Bell Run will have a modified run route at 4:55 PM.

The annual tree lighting will still occur at 6 PM in Locust Lane, with a modified ceremony. Right after the tree is lit for the season join us at the Westminster Library for free crafts & games and a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Claus.

According to the US National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington, “The Winter Weather Advisory has been expanded further east to include most areas west of I-95. Rain will affect the region starting early Sat. Temps will be cold enough for areas west of the I-95 corridor to experience wintry precipitation which may cause travel difficulties.”

The legend of Santa Claus and the nine reindeer by Kevin Dayhoff

The legend of Santa Claus and the nine reindeer by Kevin Dayhoff Merry Christmas.

http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/columnists/features/history/ph-cc-dayhoff-122516-20161223-column.html

We got the ninth reindeer, Rudolf, from the department store, Montgomery Ward. The character first appeared in a 1939 publication by Robert L. May, which was marketed by Montgomery Ward. According to many sources, including a December 25, 2013 story on "Morning Edition," on NPR, the author considered the name 'Reginald' or 'Rollo,' before settling upon the name Rudolf...
