Carroll County Farm Museum Gears Up for an Old-Fashioned Fourth of July Celebration

The Farm Museum fireworks, a Carroll County tradition, will kick off at 9:30 p.m.
&nbps;0 Comments
In spite of fears in the past that lack of funding would end the annual Fourth of July fireworks at the Farm Museum, the Kiwanis Club of Westminster remains optimistic that it will raise enough money to keep the fireworks going.
Over the years, several local service organizations have taken turns organizing the fireworks event, scheduling volunteers and raising enough money from private donations to keep alive the annual Carroll County tradition that began in 1976 during the country's bicentennial celebrations.
This year the celebration is co-sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, the Carroll County Times andWTTR AM 1470. Beginning at noon on Sunday, the Farm Museum will be abuzz with feature artisan demonstrations, mule-drawn wagon rides, museum tours, old-fashioned games, stage entertainment, and food and crafts for sale, according to information from the Farm Museum’s website.
The fireworks display will begin at 9:30 p.m. Captain Vince Maas of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, who is helping coordinate traffic, suggests that people attending the event “plan to arrive early.” Many of the roads in the direct vicinity of the Farm Museum will be closed at 8:30 p.m., including Center Street, Gist Road, and Smith Avenue.
