Catching Up...
Looks like there might be a few minutes to take a breath so here’s an update on events and happenings around Frederick, MD.
As we mentioned in a previous post the 2009 Frederick Festival of the Arts enjoyed great weather along with large crowds who spent the weekend viewing and purchasing the unique original works created by artists from around the region and around the country. An added bonus for visitors to our town was the opportunity to enjoy great food and some of the best entertainment to be found in the region all while enjoying the beauty of the Carroll Creek Promenade.
