The 1993 annual Carroll County Maryland 4-H FFA Fair program.

Of all the fair programs in my library, this must be the most extensive and comprehensive. It is approximately 380 pages.

I explained much of the history and traditions of the fair in an August 2, 2015 piece I wrote for the Baltimore Sun: “Annual Carroll County Fair set for this week,” Eagle Archives, By Kevin E. Dayhoff, http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-archives-county-fair-0802-20150731-story.html

The 1993 annual Carroll County Maryland 4-H FFA Fair program by Kevin Earl Dayhoff on Scribd

[…]

The “annual Carroll County 4-H and FFA Fair at the Agriculture Center just south of Westminster” Maryland.

[…]

The first mention of a Carroll County ‘fair’ seems to have occurred in the days immediately following the Battle of Gettysburg, July 1-4, 1863. In “Recollections,” Dr. Joshua Hering describes, “A temporary camp was made in a field on the “Fairground Hill,” immediately to the left of the turnpike.”

The Veteran’s Administration – giving you a second opportunity to die for your country.

Single-Payer Health Care: America Already Has It

The Veteran’s Administration – giving you a second opportunity to die for your country.

The Veteran’s Administration – giving you a second opportunity to die for your country. A reality check on the idea of going to a single payer health care system – as if the current system is not bad enough.

We do not need Obamacare repealed and replaced. We need it fixed. The answer is more accountability and more competition.

Meanwhile this YouTube is yet another reminder of the horrors of the one example of a US government-run single payer healthcare
system.

Each and every one of my experiences of reaching-out to the VA to advocate for a veteran has been horrific of unbelievable proportions. If this is an example of a US government-run single payer healthcare system, we are all going to go broke paying the necessary healthcare taxes – and then die.

YouTube: “Could a single-payer, government-run health care

system work in the United States? We already know the answer, because America
already has single-payer, government-run health care. Author and commentator
Pete Hegseth explains.” 10Apr2017

Still time to register for the April 22, 2017 2017 Walk MS: Westminster event

April 18, 2017 by Jon Kelvey http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/westminster/ph-cc-walk-ms-westminster-2017-20170418-story.html

There is still time to participate in the 2017 Walk MS: Westminster event scheduled for Saturday, April 22. In fact, there will be time up until 9 a.m. Saturday, when the walk begins.

"We are not going to turn people away if they want to walk for us and raise money for us," said Katie Boothroyd, director of internal communications for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. "We're excited to have them."

Of course, you can also sign up in advance online, and for free, according to Samantha Wolfe, fundraising and event manager for the Westminster walk. People are encouraged to come out and participate whether or not they will be donating, although people can donate in person or online.

"You can walk and not donate, you can donate and not walk, you can walk and donate — it's tailored for anyone to partake in any way they feel comfortable," Wolfe said. "That extends to both a 3- and 1-mile walking loop for those that do choose to walk."

Day-of registration will begin at 8 a.m. Wolfe said, as breakfast is served and a DJ plays music; the walk itself will begin at 9 a.m. After the walk, snacks and more music will be offered.

Bill Dulany left behind a legacy of leadership in the community - Time Flies by Kevin Dayhoff for Sunday, April 16, 2017

Please find my article on Delegate Dulany here: http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/columnists/features/ph-cc-dayhoff-041617-20170410-column.html

I was very young and full of many questions when I first met Del. Dulany. This was when I just started to have an all-consuming interest in history and I would have chance opportunities to talk with him. Westminster was a much smaller community back then and he was a delegate representing Carroll County in the House of Delegates 1963-66… He served with my cousin, Maryland Del. Wilbur W. Magin, 1959-1967, and distinguished Carroll County delegates Jacob M. Yingling, and Thomas R. O'Farrell.

Decades later when I was an elected official, Dulany always had time to give a helping hand, lend scholarly advice, and to give me the academic legislative history of a particular public policy.

Bill Dulany left behind a legacy of leadership in the community

Time Flies by Kevin Dayhoff for Sunday, April 16, 2017

Former Carroll County Delegate William B. Dulany was remembered by friends, family, community leaders, and colleagues at a celebration of his life, accomplishments and legacy at a service at the Beasman Auditorium at Fairhaven in Sykesville earlier in the month.

Dulany was 89 when he passed away on March 19, 2017. A Carroll County native son, Dulany was born in Sykesville, where he served as the class president at Sykesville High School before he graduated and joined the Navy during World War II.

Many of us had gathered at Fairhaven early and traded memories of the various ways Dulany had touched and enriched our lives. He was a larger than life icon in the community and most of us spoke in hushed tones about our past experiences with Dulany and how he helped shape the Carroll County we know today.

Folks from all walks of life attended the service. McDaniel College was represented. Dulany was a 1950 graduate of Western Maryland College, now McDaniel. He served on the college’s board of trustees from 1976 to 2006.
