"Living History campers experience 1800s life" by Michel Elben
"Twenty-four fourth-grade campers, some dressed in period garb, tried their hands at sewing, cooking, painting, tinsmithing, weaving, ropemaking, cane-fishing and candy-making last week during the Carroll County Farm Museum's annual Living History Camp. This week, fifth-graders are getting their turn…"

Terry Smack elected to the board of directors of Farmers and Merchants Bank
Terry Smack elected to the board of directors of Farmers and Merchants Bank
Huge congratulations to my friend Terry Smack for being elected to the board of directors of Farmers and Merchants Bank. She will do a great job. It is about time.
This speaks well of Farmers and Merchants Bank as it is about time, that boards of directors start looking like the local community by adding women, and men and woman of color. Just saying.

If you are not aware of the epic accomplishments of Ms. Smack; she is the owner of Terry's Tag and Title Service, a tag and title agent for the State of Maryland.
And she understands that as a responsible business owner, she has a social contract with the community.
She gives back to the community and in spite of her phenomenal success, she is still fun, friendly, approachable, and has never forgotten her roots.
And the greater community has recognized her efforts by naming her, and her business, in the business category, as one of the Community Foundation of Carroll County's 11th annual Philanthropists of the Year in October 2016.
Join me in recognizing and congratulating bank director Terry Smack. June 29, 2017

For dinner this evening, Caroline, Grammy and returned to Buttersburg
For dinner this evening, Caroline, Grammy and returned to Buttersburg. It was too fun.
It is great to be alive in the year 2017. Jim Rowe had posted on my Facebook page that he had baked a cherry custard pie.
I had planned to stay in the office and work through dinner with a sandwich. However, with the information that a cherry custard pie was available,
Caroline weighed-in, the presses stopped and all plans were changed.
Jim Rowe greeted us at the door, and seated us in the back. We had a great dinner.
Caroline ordered salmon cakes, Grammy got the soft shell crab again and I went for the meatloaf. Meatloaf is a specialty dish for both Caroline and me, so we know meatloaf – and it was the best.
Our server was Tessa Howard – the best.
For dessert, Caroline and Grammy had the cherry custard pie and I had the carrot cake. It was to die for.
Frank Tunzi came out from the kitchen to say hi, and to remind us that he made the flowers for our wedding. He even remembered all the details. (I know flowers – it was my business for 25-years.)
And for a bonus, we got to see Stephen Howard, who was helping-out in the kitchen of whom, I was just reminded, is Larry L Brumfield's son. It is a small world.
It's great to live in Carroll County. Love, love, love Buttersburg Inn.

Breakfast at Applebee’s supports Carroll Co NAACP education
fund
July 29th fundraising event at the Applebee’s in Westminster
supports Carroll County NAACP education fund
Westminster, June 30, 2017 - - Attached please find a flyer
of our annual Carroll County NAACP “Continuing Education Grant” fundraiser at
Applebee's in Westminster on Saturday, July 29th at 8 a.m. until 10:00 a.m.
Every year, along with the Pehl Foundation, the Carroll
County NAACP gives at least one $1,000 Continuing Education Award to a high
achieving student in Carroll County Public Schools planning to go to a trade
school, college, or university. The money raised from the Applebee’s event goes
directly into the CC NAACP continuing education fund.
Please mark your calendars now and begin informing your
family and friends.
The GPS address is: Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar,
634 Baltimore Boulevard, Westminster, MD 21157
I have attended several fundraisers at Applebee’s over the
years for a number of different community organizations. It is actually a
really unique experience in that the community organization that benefits from
the fundraiser actually takes over the restaurant. Essentially every booth is
filled with a family that you either know or want to get to know because you
share a common interest in supporting an organization that supports the greater
community. It’s like a big extended family get together.
Looking forward to seeing you on July 29th, 2017

This year’s celebration of Juneteenth in Carroll Co.
featured a documentary on the black churches in the area
In the last several meetings of the Carroll County NAACP, we
have discussed Juneteenth.
June 30th, 2017 by Kevin E. Dayhoff
Westminster Md. - This year the Juneteenth celebration in
Carroll County, June 19th, 2017 at the Carroll Arts Center, featured a special
premiere screening of “The Rock of
our Ancestors,” a Community Media Center (CMC) produced documentary about
the origins, history, and impact of Carroll County’s small, African-American
Churches. For more information go here: http://www.carrollmediacenter.org/the-rock-of-our-ancestors/
According to the April 27, 2017 minutes of the Carroll
County NAACP: “It was mentioned that the Community Media Center http://www.carrollmediacenter.org/
and the CC NAACP will partner in an upcoming event involving a movie that has
been made about the history of the Black churches in Carroll County.
The event will take place this year on June 19th, 2017 at
the Carroll Arts Center http://www.carrollcountyartscouncil.org/index.asp.
For those not familiar with Juneteenth, it is a celebration
of the news of the Emancipation Proclamation reaching Galveston Texas and being
publicly announced by Major General Gordon Granger on June 19th, 1865 - two and
a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation had been
signed on January 1, 1863.
To watch
a short trailer of the documentary
film on the black churches in Carroll County go here: https://youtu.be/ozGHZczQt1k
According to Sherry Taylor with the Carroll Community Media
center, “Throughout our history, the
church has been the cornerstone around which people have gathered to build
their communities. It is the rock of faith that sustains us in times of
uncertainty, the foundation that supports us as we grow, and a touchstone to guide
us day-by-day.
“But, some of our
small churches are finding themselves on shifting sand, facing an uncertain
future. Shrinking congregations, competing interests, and financial pressures
create significant challenges in their survival.
“Carroll County’s
houses of worship not only serve as a source of strength and comfort, but also
have been vessels of history; some tracing their roots back over 100 years.
“For these
parishioners, the loss of the church, is the loss of their legacy. Today, it’s
not just the building or the congregation that is at risk, it is the very
heritage of their ancestors and the identity of an entire community that is at
stake.”
I recently wrote an article on Juneteenth that appeared in
the Carroll County Times - “Time
Flies: June 19 is Juneteenth Independence Day,” by Kevin Dayhoff June 16,
2017:
“June 19, is "Juneteenth," a relatively
little-known holiday in approximately 45 of the 50 states, and the District of
Columbia. In June 2011, when I first wrote about the importance of Juneteenth
and advocated that Maryland recognize 'Juneteenth Independence Day,' only 38
states observed the holiday. Today, according to some recent research, Hawaii,
Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota and South Dakota still do not recognize
the ‘19th of June.’ …”
