Westminster celebrates diversity at Tristreet block party
By Kevin Dayhoff, 3:45 p.m. EDT, September 17, 2013
Fully equipped with a spatula, sunglasses, hat and an apron,
Darcel Harris was all smiles Sept. 15 as she answered questions, cooked
hamburgers and hot dogs and helped coordinate activities for over 300 folks who
attended the 11th annual Pennsylvania Avenue – Tristreet Association block
party in Dutterer Family Park in Westminster.
The event included multi-cultural food dishes made by
residents, local fruits and vegetables donated by local farmers, dancing, pie
eating contests, and educational activities for children provided by the
Westminster Police Department, the Carroll County NAACP and GROW Mission (God’s
Regeneration of Westminster) – one of the many local grassroots community
organizations in which Harris participates.
According to Harris, the March 2013 recipient of the of the
21st annual Carroll County Human Relations Commission achievement award, the
neighborhood get together was the brainchild of former Westminster City
Councilwoman, 1991-1995, Rebecca Orenstein.
Orenstein, 71, recently passed away on Aug. 31.
