Kevin Dayhoff - Eagle Archive: Celebrating Carroll County at the 4-H and FFA Fair
Eagle Archive: Celebrating Carroll County at the 4-H and FFA
Fair
By Kevin Dayhoff July 30, 2012 http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/opinion-talk/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0729-20120725,0,418259.story
Carroll County Agriculture Center
has been a beehive of activity in preparation of the annual Carroll County 4-H
and FFA Fair, which officially opened on July 27.
Historically, the summer and end of harvest events have
always played an important role in Carroll County because of the region's
agricultural roots.
Prior to 1865, the business of farming was, for the most
part, our subsistence existence. Farmers were essentially self-sufficient.
However, after the Civil War, farmers became increasingly
"dependent on creditors, merchants and railroads for their
livelihoods," according to James Stewart of Reed College, who has
concentrated his studies on this period of agriculture and economics.
"These relationships created opportunities for economic gain, but also
obligations, hardships and risks that many farmers did not welcome."
In Carroll, this period evoked celebrations of the farming
way of life. A "program of events" found in an 1871 publication of
the oldAmerican Sentinel refers to a "Grand Exhibition of Farm
machinery under the auspices of the Carroll County Agriculture Society on the Fair Grounds, Westminster, MD."
Actually, the first authoritative mention of an organized
agricultural fair event in Carroll County occurs in 1869. Nancy Warner writes
in her book, "Carroll County Maryland, A History," that on Jan. 11,
1869, the Carroll County Agricultural Society was organized "at a meeting
at the Court House."
"Capital of $25,000 was raised through the sale of 500
shares of stock at $50.00 per share. Thirty acres of land was bought between
the present Fair Street and Malcolm Drive," Warner wrote.
It is believed that the first agricultural fair in Carroll
County may have taken place on July 4, 1869, on East Main Street in Westminster
— though the current Carroll County 4-H and FFA Fair celebrates its roots going
back to a picnic held Aug. 14, 1897, at the Otterdale Schoolhouse, in
Taneytown.
The fair moved to Westminster in 1954. The Carroll County
Agriculture Center was established as a private organization on March 20, 1954,
by a group of visionary leaders who purchased the land at the end of an old
dirt lane off Gist Road, way outside of town — or at least it was back then —
with their own money.
This year's fair runs through Saturday, Aug. 4, with racing
pigs, the annual Combine Demolition Derby, Wild West Night, Car Demolition
Derby, Lawn Mower Racing, Tractor Pull and more. Many are looking forward to
seeing country music singer and songwriter Kip Moore on Aug. 4, at 8 p.m.

See you at the fair.
When he is not eating his way from one end of the fair to
the other, Kevin Dayhoff …

Paula Waterman
Meet the Artist, and view her exceptional wildlife
portraits!
Paula Waterman can’t remember a time she wasn’t making art.
For the past decade she has been doing just that as a full time artist working
in scratchboard, oil painting, and most recently in bronze sculpture. Her
subject matter is mostly the animals she sees in the wild and in the company of
people. She has a particular interest in birds, and of dog subjects, though
landscape and marine subjects are also important to her.
A common thread in all her work in all media probably is the
critical importance of light source and light color; in fact she feels that
light is the true subject in all her work.
