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.

Dear Friends of Fallfest,

Retrieved September 17, 2010

Westminster Fallfest, Inc. began as an autumn celebration in historic downtown Westminster, growing over time to operate throughout the year, sponsoring various fundraising events, all to benefit charities and service organizations within our community.

Our signature event is our annual Westminster Fallfest, Carroll County’s largest community charity event.  Each September, Fallfest draws over 40,000 people to historic downtown Westminster.  Families enjoy our festival midway and rides, while others come for the great food, unique shopping, and heart-stopping entertainment.  Our event begins with a parade, followed by four days of non-stop fun.

Fallfest is more than a festival midway or great place to find one of a kind crafts and gifts.  It’s an exciting time to share with our families and friends, and at the same time, give back to our great community.  Whether you join us for the fabulous food, the sights and sounds of our great entertainment, shopping, volunteering on-site, or providing vital sponsorship dollars to make the event happen—Westminster Fallfest is glad to have you!

Gov. Martin O'Malley says creating jobs is his top priority.

He proclaims the goal with the fervor of a religious zealot. "Maryland will lead the country, not only economically, but morally," he said during an August visit to Fisher BioServices in Wedgewood Business Park.

So far he has tried to achieve this vision by expanding government. He supported increases to the sales tax, corporate income tax and income tax in 2007. And he champions taxpayer subsidies to favored industries, including biotechnology. He also supports subsidies for health care coverage for small business and tax credits for hiring workers -- two reforms that failed miserably to achieve either of their goals.

While the unemployment rate in Maryland is lower than in the rest of the nation, O'Malley cannot take credit for it. New census data show the U.S. government shoveled $34 billion to contractors over the last fiscal year, a $9 billion increase from the previous year. And the state's myriad federal compounds have been hiring at a robust clip, according to national employment data. O'Malley's administration had nothing to do with either of those actions.

To create jobs, he should listen to people who run businesses... http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/opinion/display_columnist.htm?StoryID=110202&ref=nf

Fight Coming Over Highway User Revenue
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Municipalities throughout Maryland are currently considering the passage of a resolution that calls for the state to restore the draconian cuts in Highway User Revenue and State Aid for Police Protection to local towns and cities imposed by the current administration in Annapolis in order to balance the state budget.

Once A Jolly Hangman
Tom McLaughlin
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo – Probably most people in the western world don’t think about Singapore. When they do, it’s probably about some dot some place that has something to do with business. If that.

Pope’s Chutzpah
Roy Meachum
Benedict XVI’s gall exceeds even the Yiddish word “Chutzpah.” The latest example ended Sunday when he retired from London to Rome’s Vatican City.

Tough Decisions Still Ahead
Farrell Keough
It is kumbaya time! The primaries are over and we all are supposed to come together to support those who have won! That is how it has always worked and by-gum, we’d better get on board!

Is he, or isn’t he?
Derek Shackelford
Sometimes I do not know whether to laugh or cry over some of the discussions that take place within our political discourse. It appears that vision is so lacking when it comes to the direction within this country.

‘Frederickana’ Election Fallout
Norman M. Covert
We witnessed the phenomenon of “Frederickana” while serving as a judge in the gubernatorial primary election at William R. Talley Recreation center last Tuesday. Top of the too-good-to-be-true list is the lady nonagenarian who walked the more than half-mile distance without escort from her home near Culler Lake, appearing as hale as any adult in the room.

Campaign Diary – One Small Step
Michael Kurtianyk
With over 60 polling places in Frederick County, our team worked hard to put up signs all through the evening. I called the Board of Elections to get a ruling on when we could start putting them up and was told that we couldn’t put them up until around 7 P.M.

The Grand Abyss
Earl 'Rocky' Mackintosh
I have decided to change things up this week from typical posts I do on the MacRo Report Blog and TheTentacle.com and write about a little adventure that I am about to embark.

New Extremism
Roy Meachum
“Extremism in the defense of liberty…Moderation in the pursuit of freedom is no virtue.” Sen. Barry Goldwater (R., AZ) defended his conservatism in the 1964 presidential race against incumbent Lyndon B. Johnson.

It doesn’t matter for whom you vote …Huh?
Joe Charlebois
Whoever said it doesn’t matter for whom you vote? Well, it is less and less likely that the old adage will hold true this November. The surge of TEA Party (more conservative or libertarian) candidates on a national basis – and even local races – is drawing distinct lines for the national Republican Party.

Through The Looking Glass Again
Patricia A. Kelly
The world definitely moves in mysterious ways, a case in point being the furor over Pastor Terry Jones, of the Dove Outreach Center in Gainesville, FL. Pastor Jones has a mere 50 families as congregants, and according to last Friday’s CNN News, may have bilked his former German congregation of thousands of dollars before being relieved of his duties and returning to his old haunts in Gainesville.

The 100 percenters and the seethers
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Now that Maryland’s primary election is over and the general election is only six-plus weeks away, I only have one question left for some candidates and single issues interest groups: Is there anyone left you can annoy – friends, family, poisonous reptiles?

Writing a Book – Now Comes the Hard Part
Tom McLaughlin
Kuching, Malaysian Borneo –I wrote a book and published myself. They delivered them here recently. And they are beautiful.

The Union Still Stands
Roy Meachum
In the Great Depression’s worst days, as war storms blew up over Europe for all the world, American writer Stephen Vincent Benet wrote “The Devil and Daniel Webster.” The allegory’s most famous line, “Neighbor, how stands the Union?”

Constructivist math in our society
Nick Diaz
I learned math under a solid, old-fashioned, time-honored, traditional program taught by the dear good Jesuit priests and brothers in charge of my elementary education in my native Cuba. It didn’t matter whether the math curriculum was from a textbook, or from Moses and the Ten Commandments; my teachers taught it and taught it well.

Candidates Respond
Shawn Burns
In my last column, I asked several questions of candidates for Frederick Board of County Commissioners. Below I have restated the questions and the answers from the candidates who responded. Thank you to those who did and for taking the time to get back to me.

United We Stand, Divided We Fail
Adam Avery
The Frederick County Republican Central Committee (FCRCC), hereinafter referred to as "committee," is experiencing internal turmoil which threatens to undermine its core mission: To promote all Republican candidates. Apparent ineffectiveness – if not incompetent – leadership by current Chairman Mary Rolle threatens to stall, if not reverse, any momentum generated by former Chairman Kelly Schulz.

Campaign Diary – It’s A Learning Experience…
Michael Kurtianyk
How many of you watch the Summer Olympics? You know the part when the marathoners run into the stadium for their final lap? Well, that’s what this final week of campaigning feels like. For me, who wasn’t a last-minute entry into the commissioner race, this has been a marathon of meeting people, going door-to-door, and researching the issues.
