The Westminster Fire Department announces its annual Big Money Raffle winners By Kevin Dayhoff


The Westminster Fire Department announces its annual Big Money Raffle winners

The summer carnival season has begun in Carroll County

By Kevin Dayhoff

Posted 6/1/11  http://www.scribd.com/doc/56995761/The-summer-carnival-season-has-begun-in-Carroll-County-MD

The Carroll County carnival and fire department fund raising season got kicked off last Wednesday when the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 held its annual Big Money Raffle.

In addition to eight cash drawings there was plenty of fried chicken, hot dogs, and all the traditional summer picnic delights available as friends, family, and community gathered to fill the engine bays at the fire station at 28 John Street in Westminster in what has become an annual tradition in Carroll County.

This year the fire company gave away $20,950 at the event.  The first prize was $15,000; among a total of eight prizes raffled off – all for a $20.00 ticket.




The winners for the annual raffle are as follow: First Prize went to Dawn Duff, second prize to Debbie Reese, third prize to Don Burkward, fourth prize to Suzanne Schreuer, fifth prize to Julia Kimsey, sixth prize to Henry Ruhlman, seventh prize to Truman Simms, and eighth prize to Vicki Munshaur.

A press release from the Westminster volunteer fire department said, “The officers and members of the Westminster Fire Department congratulate all the winners and thank everyone that supported the annual raffle and attended the function at the Fire Station on Thursday night.  Without your support the fire department would not be able to continue to provide the service community.”

In addition to the Westminster volunteer fire company event, the beginning of the 2011 summer season includes the annual Gamber Volunteer Fire Department carnival at the Gamber carnival grounds which began May 28 and continues through June 4.

The annual Union Bridge Fire Company carnival at 8 W. Locust Street, Union Bridge, got started Memorial Day, May 30, after the annual Union Bridge Memorial Day ceremonies and continues through Saturday, June 4.

The annual summer Carroll County carnival season also includes the St. John Parish Catholic Church Carnival at 43 Monroe Street in Westminster.  The carnival began May 30 and runs through Saturday, June 4.

The New Windsor Fire & Hose Co. No. 1 annual fundraising carnival begins Monday, June 6, and continues through June 10, at the carnival grounds immediately behind the fire station in town.

Mark your calendar for the annual Taneytown Volunteer Fire Company firefighters’ carnival coming soon on June 13 through June 18.

On Saturday, June 4, the annual Antique Fire Department parade will motor down Pennsylvania Avenue, on to Main Street, and then Center Street to the Carroll County Farm Museum; to kick off the 42nd Annual Spring Antique Fire Equipment Show, hosted by the Chesapeake Antique Fire Apparatus Association.

And don’t miss the annual Art in the Park, hosted by the Carroll County Arts Council, on the grounds of Westminster City Hall on June 4 from June 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Do you plan to attend any of the Carroll County summer carnivals?  Which carnivals have you already attended and tell us in the comments what you liked best.

Carroll Community College opens three different art exhibits - by Erica Kritt

Carroll Community College opens three different art exhibits

Carroll County Times News Web site http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/

Monday, April 19, 2010 by Erica Kritt


Art took center stage Sunday at Carroll Community College as three art shows opened on campus.

Maggie Ball, visual arts department chairwoman of Carroll Community College, said this was the first time the school had three openings in one day.

[…]

"Steven Dobbin: Reclamation, Variation II," opened in the Scott Center. His work features paint cans.

[…]

In the Great Hall of the college, the artist cooperative Off Track Art, which has gallery space in Westminster, displayed works with a train theme.

While some artists displayed sketches of train tracks, others did jewelry and paper cutouts.

"It challenged each of us to broaden our thinking," Mary Decker, one of the artists in the show, said.

Linda Van Hart, another member, said the Off Track Art exhibit was the center of the exhibitions, bridging the physical space between Dobbin's space and a gallery of student art.

The student art is being exhibited in the Langdon Gallery. Ball said that having the students in with the community artists and Dobbin gives them pride.

===========================================================


CELEBRATIONS
Happy Birthday, Off Track Art, celebrating one year as a coop gallery!

Join us in celebrating this young venue, along with celebrating Nancy Schmitt, who this winter becomes the second of rotating guest artists exhibiting with Off Track Art.

Come to our Opening Reception to see her wonderful, richly-colored felted objects.

New work in the gallery also include Linda Van Hart’s Meditation: Sense of Self and The Three Graces, beautiful collage statements created while in Budapest; vibrant new photographs by Gordon Wickes; Mary Decker’s bright, framed assemblages and other fun objects; Melinda Byrd’s intimate gestural drawings of jazz & blues musicians; and many more drawings, paintings, jewelry, and mixed media works that will delight and surprise!

Opening Reception: Friday, February 12, 2010... 5:30-7:30 PM. See you there!

GUEST ARTIST

By combining her fine arts and textile design backgrounds, Nancy Schmitt creates unique vessels, wall hangings and wearables made of felted wool. Her passion for working with wool fiber, along with the organic nature of the medium, help her connect the ancient traditions of felt making with modern artistry. Because wool is an organic medium, she must be willing to surrender preconceived design notions and allow the fiber to develop its own unique shape and form. The surface becomes truly three dimensional with the addition of beads that capture and reflect light. Sculptural cuts in the matte wool add texture and expose color changes in the fiber layers.

NEW WEBSITE

Off Track Art can now be found on the web. Many thanks to Gail Elwell for organizing things and getting our website launched. Look for art images and info on our new website: http://www.offtrackart.org/.

ARTISTS AT WORK at Off Track Art:

I was doing some file maintenance on art this evening and ran across this drawing of Ted Dix playing the organ at the October 30, 2004 “With One Voice” concert to benefit the Carroll County Domestic Violence Safe House; sponsored by Human Services Program of Carroll County and Family and Children’s Services of Central Maryland.

I am in Off Track Studio today


Sunday, December 06, 2009

I’m in the studio today – why not stop by and see me sometime…

It was really busy earlier and the traffic is tapering-off. I’m looking for a corner to take a nap – well, maybe not. Whatever, come by and visit.

Great place to buy Christmas and Hanukah gifts from local (starving) artists.
