Dear Friends of Fallfest,

Retrieved September 17, 2010

Westminster Fallfest, Inc. began as an autumn celebration in historic downtown Westminster, growing over time to operate throughout the year, sponsoring various fundraising events, all to benefit charities and service organizations within our community.

Our signature event is our annual Westminster Fallfest, Carroll County’s largest community charity event. Each September, Fallfest draws over 40,000 people to historic downtown Westminster. Families enjoy our festival midway and rides, while others come for the great food, unique shopping, and heart-stopping entertainment. Our event begins with a parade, followed by four days of non-stop fun.

Fallfest is more than a festival midway or great place to find one of a kind crafts and gifts. It’s an exciting time to share with our families and friends, and at the same time, give back to our great community. Whether you join us for the fabulous food, the sights and sounds of our great entertainment, shopping, volunteering on-site, or providing vital sponsorship dollars to make the event happen—Westminster Fallfest is glad to have you!

2010 Festival Chairperson

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.

The 100 percenters and the seethers

Kevin E. Dayhoff

Now that Maryland’s primary election is over and the general election is only six-plus weeks away, I only have one question left for some candidates and single issues interest groups: Is there anyone left you can annoy – friends, family, poisonous reptiles?

Writing a Book – Now Comes the Hard Part

Tom McLaughlin

Kuching, Malaysian Borneo –I wrote a book and published myself. They delivered them here recently. And they are beautiful.

The Union Still Stands

Roy Meachum

In the Great Depression’s worst days, as war storms blew up over Europe for all the world, American writer Stephen Vincent Benet wrote “The Devil and Daniel Webster.” The allegory’s most famous line, “Neighbor, how stands the Union?”

Constructivist math in our society

Nick Diaz

I learned math under a solid, old-fashioned, time-honored, traditional program taught by the dear good Jesuit priests and brothers in charge of my elementary education in my native Cuba. It didn’t matter whether the math curriculum was from a textbook, or from Moses and the Ten Commandments; my teachers taught it and taught it well.

Candidates Respond

Shawn Burns

In my last column, I asked several questions of candidates for Frederick Board of County Commissioners. Below I have restated the questions and the answers from the candidates who responded. Thank you to those who did and for taking the time to get back to me.

United We Stand, Divided We Fail

Adam Avery

The Frederick County Republican Central Committee (FCRCC), hereinafter referred to as "committee," is experiencing internal turmoil which threatens to undermine its core mission: To promote all Republican candidates. Apparent ineffectiveness – if not incompetent – leadership by current Chairman Mary Rolle threatens to stall, if not reverse, any momentum generated by former Chairman Kelly Schulz.

Campaign Diary – It’s A Learning Experience…

Michael Kurtianyk

How many of you watch the Summer Olympics? You know the part when the marathoners run into the stadium for their final lap? Well, that’s what this final week of campaigning feels like. For me, who wasn’t a last-minute entry into the commissioner race, this has been a marathon of meeting people, going door-to-door, and researching the issues.

Media Hype

Roy Meachum

As TheTentacle.com colleague Norm Covert revealed, the present Fort Detrick “scandal” is a creature of The Frederick News-Post; Norm served long years as the fort’s public affairs director. He knows. But he said the local paper has made no attempt to interview him.

Endorsed Candidates for September 14 Primary

John W. Ashbury

As a public service TheTentacle.com today provides a list of candidates who have been endorsed in next week’s primary election. We are providing the organization that has made those endorsements and, if they are ranked, we are providing the names in order. We are not including uncontested races or endorsements by individuals.

Political Musings

Farrell Keough

With the primary right around the corner, the nastiness of various people vying for election has shown itself to be very active. A number of emails, fliers, radio spots, and direct mailings have shown just how far some people will go in an attempt to elevate themselves by denigrating others.

Unethical, or just plain dumb?

Joan McIntyre

You may ask why in the world when I'm a Republican I would pick on my own central committee. The answer is very simple. I believe in exposing the warts wherever they hide. I’m not blinded by the light just because it says, ‘hey, trust me, I’m a Republican.’ Does “Trust but verify” ring a bell with anyone?

What happens if you don’t vote?

Amanda Haddaway

Out of all my friends, I think I’m probably in the top 10 percent in terms of political awareness and involvement. Some of my friends vote and some do not, despite my constant lecturing on the importance of it. The realization that I’ve come to is this: they don’t vote because they feel that their lone voice doesn’t make a difference. I’m here to tell you that it does.

Recovery Summer – NOT

Kevin E. Dayhoff

Conservative populist political pundits have predicted that Republicans will do well in the fast-approaching midterm elections, and, to a great extent, even the most cursory examination of history indicates such a prediction is a safe bet.

Endangered Species

Tom McLaughlin

Kuching, Borneo Island, Malaysia – I don’t have much hope for the species of the world which are connected with Chinese medicine. In fact, we could probably wipe off those critically endangered except for ones in well-guarded wildlife preserves and those in zoos.

On My Deafness

Roy Meachum

“On His Blindness” was written by John Milton, an English poet surpassed only by William Shakespeare. Too bad Ludwig van Beethoven was only a great composer; but he spoke another language.

Lessons of School Choice – Part 2

Earl 'Rocky' Mackintosh

In Part 1 of my column on this topic I outlined some of the differences between public and private education. The goal is to offer information that the new and existing members of the Frederick County Board of Education should consider as they move forward in this new school year.

Campaign Diary – Busier Than Usual

Michael Kurtianyk

It amazes me how people work to put together a party in a short amount of time. It was only two weeks ago when I spoke with someone who said: “Let’s have a party at my house for you.” I agreed, though I thought that two weeks wasn’t enough time.

Me at the Westminster Elementary School precinct 7-7 polling place during my coverage of the Maryland primary election – trying to act like I really know what I am doing.

Gerry Wiseman took the photograph.

Karen Fassett, an election judge at 7-7 only busted me for breaking procedures, 2 or 3 times – alright, maybe more. Never could follow the rules. It’s an authority thing…

DAYHOFF: All of Westminster got fired up over 'Defense Day' in 1924

Eagle Archives

By Kevin Dayhoff

Posted 9/12/10

http://www.explorecarroll.com/community/4714/all-westminster-got-fired-up-over-defense-day-1924/

On Sept. 12, 1924, Carroll County celebrated "Defense Day" in Westminster with singing, parades, a prettiest baby contest, speeches and a beauty contest, of which the prize was $25. (No one entered.)

Much of the day's festivities took place on the Hoffa football field at what was then Western Maryland College -- now McDaniel College.

And oh, by the way ... one of the highlights of the day featured shooting up the field with machine guns. (Maybe it was the machine guns that inhibited the county's most beautiful women from entering the beauty contest?)

More research is needed to understand what "Defense Day" was all about. We obviously no longer celebrate it.

On Aug. 4, 1924, a piece in Time magazine notes that: "The project of holding a National Defense Day on Sept. 12 has met considerable opposition from pacifist bodies. President (Calvin) Coolidge undertook last week to uphold the propriety of the proposed 'Day' in a letter to the National Council for the Prevention of War ..."

Re-elect Kevin Dayhoff to the Westminster City Council May 9th, 2023

Hi, I am Kevin Dayhoff, and I would like to be re-elected - along with Councilmembers Ann Gilbert and Greg Pecoraro - to remain in the three Westminster Common Council seats that are available in the upcoming May 9th city election. We offer experience, energy, accessibility, vision, fiscally prudent, and socially responsible leadership. It would be an honor to have the opportunity to take another turn as a Westminster elected official. This has been paid for by Dayhoff for Westminster, Caroline Babylon - Treasurer.
