September in Garrett County looked a lot like this:
DOGS ARE FLYING. Dock Dogs brought the big splashes and the even bigger cheers.
Remember those two bowls I painted? EMPTY BOWLS was Garrett County’s first. Soup, handmade bowls, and neighbors showing up for neighbors. Over 400 bowls ended up in the hands of community members.
The DEEP CREEK LAKE ART, WINE & SPIRITS FESTIVAL. A lot of very good things in one place.
The upcoming BIG-FOOT FESTIVAL (at press time) is proof this county will celebrate anything. I love that about us. It should be fun!
HOUSING is on the table, literally. A housing affordability breakfast hosted by the Garrett County Board of Realtors (GCBR) brought people together to talk honestly about where we all live and work. Learn more or donate here: https://ctfinc.org/affordable-housing-fund/
MVB opened a NEW BRANCH, complete with a grand opening and ribbon-cutting. Read the details on page 88.
The FORK RUN MASTER PLAN is open for comments. If you haven’t weighed in yet, please review and comment: https://bit.ly/3VaGYfF
The DEEP CREEK LAKE WATERSHED FOUNDATION keeps working to make sure the lake we all love stays the lake we all love. The Broadway in the Barn fundraiser was a rousing success!
Shh… if you didn’t know, September weather is always absolutely perfect for paddling, hiking, biking, boating, and more!!
And now we’re all GEARING UP FOR AUTUMN GLORY. The leaves are turning, and the calendar is filling fast.
An interesting free course is planned – check out page 86 for more details about AFRICAN AMERICAN LEGACY IN WESTERN MD.
