Hopefully the first of several stories about the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce trip to Cuba in November


Hopefully the first of several stories about the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce trip to Cuba in November - by Kevin E. Dayhoff


Outside of the town of Viñales, a Cuban tobacco processor pauses at the end of the day at a small government-run tobacco processing and sorting facility called a “despalillo de Tabaco.’ The employees – mostly women, sorted and graded tobacco by quality and color for use in the Francisco Donatien factory in Pinar del Rio.

Carroll County Arts Center: Puros: Vistas of Cuba

Carroll County Arts Center: Puros: Vistas of Cuba receptionThursday, January 8 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm




On View December 11 - February 28, 2015

Additional Details: The public is invited to a celebratory reception for both exhibits on Thursday, January 8 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.  There will be complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar.


In the Director’s Hall Gallery, “Puros: Vistas of Cuba” will feature works of art created by five local photographers that depict people, places and perspectives that are purely Cuban. The photos were taken during their May 2014 Cuban adventure sponsored by the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce.

The term "puros" refers to an authentic Cuban cigar, which has been contraband in the US since the trade embargo initiated in the early 1960s. That same embargo also strictly limits travel between the two countries.

The artists exhibiting are Stella Fouts (Millers, MD), Sharon Hafner Yingling (Westminster, MD), Don Hobart (Westminster, MD), Becki Maurio (Westminster, MD), and Mike McMullin (Westminster, MD).
