Tracy O'Dowd: Want 2 Dish - It must be L.O.V.E.


IT MUST BE L.O.V.E.






Love has spurred man on to achieve great feats, and it was love of food and the Spanish lifestyle that spurred Maggie Lebherz on to venture into the world of small business. In June, Maggie opened Lebherz Oil and Vinegar Emporium—abbreviated L.O.V.E.—in downtown Frederick.

As a college senior, Maggie studied at the University of Salamanca in Spain and became immersed in the culture, attending classes as any student would do and shopping for groceries as locals do. “It’s different there,” she explains. “If you want bread, you go to the bakery. If you want oil, you go to the oil store. Ingredients are fresh and quality. Food is a part of the culture.”

Maggie developed a new appreciation for ...

Westminster MD experiences water main break http://t.co/yyYIQyt by Kevin Dayhoff


Westminster MD experiences water main break http://t.co/yyYIQyt by Kevin Dayhoff

City officials say water safe to drink.  System was quickly repaired by mid-afternoon.


By Kevin Dayhoff

A 12-inch water main cracked in the city of Westminster water system around 10:15 a.m. Sunday morning, according to Westminster Mayor Kevin Utz.

The break took place in the 300 block of North Cranberry Road near the city’s water treatment plant and occurred just as townsfolk and city workers were returning from church; but perhaps just as bad, it happened just as workers from the city’s utilities maintenance department were preparing for an afternoon of Ravens’ football… 

“Glad to see the (city) workers got here quickly knowing there were going to miss the Ravens’ game,” said Utz as he picked-up his phone and ordered pizzas and drinks for those working on the water line…

The 2010 Carroll County Agriculture Center corn maze in now open

The 2010 Carroll County Agriculture Center corn maze in now open

Corn Maze to Open in Westminster

Get lost this fall at the 2010 Carroll County Agriculture Center corn maze.

Authorities have identified the crop circles found outside of Westminster as the work of Carroll County Ag Center volunteers and not the work of space aliens.
~~~~~~

Beginning Friday, September 10, 2010, the Ag Center will feature over 2 miles of trails creatively carved out of acres of seven-foot tall corn just outside of Westminster.

It has been six years since a maze was artfully carved into the crop fields at the Ag Center.  In 2004, over 3,300 folks visited.

The theme of this year’s maze is a celebration of Carroll County’s agricultural heritage.  A cornucopia of grapes, an apple, a banana, pumpkin, and squash have carefully been carved into the field for hours of family fun.

Come test your navigational skills.  Get off the couch, turn off the TV, get out of the house and enjoy the fresh air and support a worthy cause, the Carroll County Agriculture Center, home of the nationally known Carroll County 4-H and FFA Fair.

Public hours are Friday and Saturday nights from 5 PM to 9 PM and Sunday afternoons from 2 PM to 6 PM.  The maze will be open weekends until October 31, 2010 and will feature a haunted maze on October 29th and 30th, 2010.

Cost is $10 for adults and $5 for ages 3 to 12.  Group prices and times are available, call 410 848-6704.

For more information and directions, call the Agriculture Center at 410 848-6704; or go to www.ccag.biz or click on http://tinyurl.com/2fxtxhn

This event is to benefit the CARROLL COUNTY AGRICULTURE CENTER, Inc.  The Carroll County Agriculture Center is the site of the 50,000 square foot Danele Shipley Memorial Arena, as well as numerous other meeting facilities, function and banquet rooms and outdoor facilities.  Located in central Carroll County, the Agriculture Center also helps meet the needs of our neighbors in Baltimore, Washington D.C., and southern Pennsylvania.  The facilities are designed to host a wide variety of events from livestock shows to entertainment events, trade shows and exhibits.  The Agriculture Center is also the permanent home of the Carroll County 4H & FFA Fair.

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.
