December 2023 Issue

The holiday season is upon us! Shopping, concerts, and winter activities abound here on the mountain top. Our local small business owners offer a wide variety of gifts for everyone in the family, whether you are shopping at Deep Creek Lake, Grantsville, or in wonderful downtown Oakland. If for some reason you CAN’T find the perfect gift, a Gift Certificate is always appreciated. Many of our local restaurants are offering special deals and discounts, check out our Shopping Guide starting on Page 68 for information about our great shopping experiences.

Our Calendar of Events (Page 14) is full of fun small town events and choral concerts. We are so blessed to live in a community with such devotion to the arts. Speaking of which, be sure to check out the Feature Story about the Garrett Lakes Arts Festival on Page 6. Mike Fratz takes a look at their upcoming 2024 season…it promises to be a good one! As we end 2023 and our 32nd year of publishing The Lake-Front, I want to wish everyone of our loyal readers and advertisers a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We appreciate your continued support!

In gratitude,
Linda Carr
