2010 Westminster Fallfest is fast approaching


September 17, 2010

2010 Fallfest: 9/23, 6pm - 10pm; 9/24, 6pm - 10pm; 9/25, 10am - 10pm; 9/26, 12pm - 6pm; 2010 Parade Date: Thursday 9/23/10 at 7PM



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!

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.
