(Enlarge) The Parikh family of Finksburg - Jay, 7, Zill, 12, and Falguni and Ketan Parikh - explore the corn maze at the Carroll County Agriculture Center in Westminster Sept. 18. The maze, which is more than 2 miles long, is open Friday and Saturday, 5-9 p.m., and Sunday, 2-6 p.m. Flashlights are provided at dusk, and there will be a "haunted maze" Oct. 29 and 30.

Group prices and times are available. For details, call 410 848-6704, or go to www.ccag.biz.

It's a official: The crop circles found outside of Westminster are the work of Carroll County Ag Center volunteers -- and not the work of space aliens.

Now open and continuing through the end of October, the Ag Center is featuring more than 2 miles of trails creatively carved out of acres of seven-foot tall corn just outside of Westminster.

It has been six years since a maze was artfully carved into the crop fields at the Ag Center. In 2004, over 3,300 folks visited...

Frederick city police are shaking their heads this morning after residents woke up to discover 31 vehicles with their tires slashed.

Adding an element of mystery to the crime is that nearly all of the vehicles targeted by the somnolent slasher were either white of a very "light" color, according to a report issued by the Frederick Police Department early Sunday.

Thousands of folks greeted the beginning of Westminster Fallfest Thursday evening

9/24/2010

By Kevin Dayhoff and Katie V. Jones

Thousands of folks greeted the beginning of Westminster Fallfest Thursday evening. Parade watchers thronged Main Street and Longwell Avenue to watch over 60 entries march, sing, dance, and blow the horn to mark the beginning of Westminster’s annual citywide fall festival.

After the parade, folks took advantage of the unseasonably warm temperatures to pack the Westminster playground for food, rides, and activities such as making scarecrows.

Later in the evening Jennifer Mellor, Fallfest chairperson, announced the winner of three prizes awarded to entries in the parade.

The Carroll Gymnastics took first prize. Second and third prize went to two separate Girl Scout entries. Carroll Gymnastics is going to donate their $250.00 prize money to breast cancer research, said Mellor.

“It was a fantastic event,” beamed Mellor late in the evening. Community spirit was everywhere.”

Westminster Fallfest is scheduled to continue through Sunday, Sept. 26, in and around Westminster City Park.

Westminster Fallfest, Inc. P.O. Box 804, Westminster, MD 21158 www.westminsterfallfest.com August 28, 2004 Westminster Fallfest started in 1978 to promote the awareness for the renewal of the downtown shopping district, in which our fundraising efforts center today. During the 1980's volunteers that organized Fallfest realized excess funds from vendor fees and other activities. The volunteers decided to distribute these funds to support local charities. After receiving positive responses from charities, the volunteers decided to broaden their efforts. Over the years we have evolved into a multi-cultural and multifaceted organization known as Westminster Fallfest, Inc. Fallfest operates 12 months a year organizing and providing the community and local non-profit charities the opportunity to apply and be interviewed to receive excess proceeds from our various fundraising activities.

Westminster MD experiences water main break http://t.co/yyYIQyt by Kevin Dayhoff

City officials say water safe to drink. System was quickly repaired by mid-afternoon.

9/19/10 http://www.explorecarroll.com/news/4749/breaking-westminster-experiences-water-main-break-near-cranberry-station/

By Kevin Dayhoff

A 12-inch water main cracked in the city of Westminster water system around 10:15 a.m. Sunday morning, according to Westminster Mayor Kevin Utz.

The break took place in the 300 block of North Cranberry Road near the city’s water treatment plant and occurred just as townsfolk and city workers were returning from church; but perhaps just as bad, it happened just as workers from the city’s utilities maintenance department were preparing for an afternoon of Ravens’ football…

“Glad to see the (city) workers got here quickly knowing there were going to miss the Ravens’ game,” said Utz as he picked-up his phone and ordered pizzas and drinks for those working on the water line…

Corn Maze to Open in Westminster

Get lost this fall at the 2010 Carroll County Agriculture Center corn maze.

Authorities have identified the crop circles found outside of Westminster as the work of Carroll County Ag Center volunteers and not the work of space aliens.

~~~~~~

Beginning Friday, September 10, 2010, the Ag Center will feature over 2 miles of trails creatively carved out of acres of seven-foot tall corn just outside of Westminster.

It has been six years since a maze was artfully carved into the crop fields at the Ag Center. In 2004, over 3,300 folks visited.

The theme of this year’s maze is a celebration of Carroll County’s agricultural heritage. A cornucopia of grapes, an apple, a banana, pumpkin, and squash have carefully been carved into the field for hours of family fun.

Come test your navigational skills. Get off the couch, turn off the TV, get out of the house and enjoy the fresh air and support a worthy cause, the Carroll County Agriculture Center, home of the nationally known Carroll County 4-H and FFA Fair.

Public hours are Friday and Saturday nights from 5 PM to 9 PM and Sunday afternoons from 2 PM to 6 PM. The maze will be open weekends until October 31, 2010 and will feature a haunted maze on October 29^th and 30^th, 2010.

Cost is $10 for adults and $5 for ages 3 to 12. Group prices and times are available, call 410 848-6704.
