Westminster Fallfest September 22-25, 2022


Westminster Fallfest started in 1978 to promote awareness of the renewal of the downtown shopping district. The dates for this year’s Westminster Fallfest are Sept. 22-25, 2022.

Kevin Dayhoff: It’s fall and time for community events in Westminster, Carroll County Sep 23, 2022 at 9:00 am 

This year in Carroll County, fall began at 8:03 p.m. on Sept. 22. Scientifically it’s the autumnal equinox, the time when the sun shines directly on the equator, and the southern and northern hemispheres receive the same amount of sunlight. After the 22nd, the northern hemisphere began to tilt away from the sun.

[…]

For those of us who love summer, the first day of fall can only mean that winter will soon be upon us. Others look upon the fall season with excitement. Indeed, in Carroll County fall brings about a cornucopia of community events. Fall is for apples, pumpkins, sweaters, fuzzy socks, and colorful leaves.

Let’s look at three of the events on the calendar for fall. The 43rd annual Westminster Fallfest will be held from Sept. 22-25 at the Westminster playground at 11 Longwell Ave. On Sept. 24, the Miss Carroll County Scholarship Competition will take place at Westminster High School. The start of October will be celebrated at Oktoberfest at the Carroll County Agricultural Center on Oct. 1 and 2.


Westminster Fallfest started in 1978 to promote awareness of the renewal of the downtown shopping district. The dates for this year’s Westminster Fallfest are Sept. 22-25, 2022.

According to information provided by the City of Westminster, this year’s Fallfest charity partners are, Crossroads Church, Catholic Charities Head Start & Early Learning, Westminster Municipal Band, and Together We Own It. “Selected partners will assist with planning ... complete tasks delegated by organizers, provide and coordinate volunteers to manage and staff several activities during the four-day festival, and attend mandatory monthly meetings. In return, each partner receives a portion of the proceeds generated from the event to benefit their organization.

“Fallfest is a four-day community event with fun for everyone! The festival is [composed] of rides, games, food, entertainment, and on Saturday and Sunday only, an assortment of craft, commercial, and nonprofit vendors. Hundreds of volunteers from local organizations and area schools help staff this event.”

Kevin Dayhoff: In July 1845 Westminster held a funeral for President Jackson


Kevin Dayhoff: In July 1845 Westminster held a funeral for President Jackson Jul 24, 2022

On July 19, 1845, Westminster paused with great fanfare to mourn the death of President Andrew Jackson, who served in office from 1829 to 1837.

For a historian, it is always fascinating to research and write about Jackson. His legacy is so complicated. Historians either love him or hate him. There seems to be no middle ground. According to my research at the State Library of North Carolina, conducted when I participated in the civil rights movement in the early 1970s, Jackson “was born … near the border between North and South Carolina on March 15, 1767. [He] was the third child and third son of Scots-Irish parents. His father, also named Andrew, died as the result of a logging accident just a few weeks before the future president was born.

Xfinity office in Owings Mills


Sunday, July 17, 2022: My wife and I had a great experience at the Xfinity office in Owings Mills. We traveled to the Comcast Xfinity office in Owings Mills - 10132 Reisterstown Rd #20, Owings Mills, MD 21117 on Sunday, July 16, 2022. The Xfinity store had really convenient office hours on a Sunday, from 12:00 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Our TV Box got fried when we lost power at the house during a severe thunderstorm that passed through the area on Tuesday, July 12, 2022. We went to the Xfinity office in Owings Mills to swap the box out for a new one. We were in and out of the store in minutes. The store is very stylish, spacious, open, clean, well-lit, and upscale appointed.

A really friendly hostess greeted us as we entered the store. The store was not crowded, but there were a number of customers there. Yet we were seen by a customer service person very quickly. Our customer service person’s name is Dante White. He was very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. He did not rush us. He acted as if he had all the time on the world to chat with us, yet in minutes he handed us a red bag with an upgraded TV Box. He walked us through the installation and activation process, and we were on our way quickly. It was a great experience.

We had located the store on the internet. It had a phone number listed with the information on the store - (800) 266-2278. Do not waste your time calling that number. It goes to a central call center, and it is not efficient use of your time.

Several years ago, we were really sad when the Comcast store in Westminster closed. The folks in the Westminster store were very friendly and helpful. The store was located in a central location in the county and served customers in Carroll County really well. Our customer service representative reported that he sees lots of folks from Westminster.

The store in Owings Mills is only about 20-minutes from Westminster in a large shopping complex located next to Owings Mills Boulevard where Maryland Cup was once located. The drive was easy and effortless. The store is located very near – next to Wegman’s – and a Cava, where we picked up our dinner after we visited the Xfinity store.

After years of having Comcast internet and TV service, I hope to never-ever have to call the Xfinity customer service line again – after too many horrible user experiences. However, if I ever have a need for customer service from Xfinity in the future, I will look forward to visiting the Owings Mills store. Give it try – you will not regret it.
