This year’s Westminster Flower and Jazz Festival will be held May 7, 2016

The Flower and Jazz Festival is an annual event held in downtown Westminster the Saturday before Mother's Day. Main Street will be filled with craft and commercial vendors, food vendors, and nursery and flower vendors. It is a great event for all the family with special appeal to moms, grandmothers, sisters, daughters, etc.

The City of Westminster Recreation and Parks Department do a great job in putting this annual event together. The event occurs every year in May the Saturday before Mother’s Day in historic downtown Westminster, Carroll County Maryland.

From my column in www.explorecarroll.com on Mother's Day... May 9, 2010

I've read a number of accounts about the origins of Mother's Day. They vary in detail but are relatively consistent. Many years ago, The Sun ran a version in the story, "Mother's Day actually began as a memorial observance."

It noted that, "Anna Reeves Jarvis had organized 'work days' for mothers in West Virginia to heal the divisions of the Civil War, and often spoke of wanting to establish a day to honor mothers.

"When she died on May 9, 1905, her daughter, Anna Jarvis, took up the cause. The first Mother's Day service took place at a Methodist Episcopal church in Grafton, W.Va., two years later, with Jarvis sending 500 white carnations for those in attendance to wear."
Perhaps, we prefer a Carroll County version of the tale?

Well, on May 10, 1998, local historian Jay Graybeal wrote an article for the Historical Society of Carroll County in which he noted that a May 9, 1942, issue of a Binghamton, N.Y., newspaper published a slightly different history of Mother's Day…
