Maybe you caught this on Saturday…there was a performer hired to hold the sign to Catoctin Ridge Townhomes. The sign holder was Will Maxy (Sorry Will if I misspelled it, call me) He works for Pedestal-Events out of Baltimore. Cars passing by found him to be entertaining and showed their support by blowing horns. Now could this be a new trend on the Golden Mile? Stores seem to be hurting in this area for attention. You can see sign walkers on the weekends and occassionally in the evenings. City ordinance has restrictions against temporary signage. As a REALTOR®, I know that first hand about the signs. I have been fined for having my Sales Directional Signs out during the restricted time frame. We can only have our Open House and Sales Directional signs displayed 8 AM Saturday to 7 PM Sunday. It helps keep your neighborhoods clutter free. Anyways, here’s an example of what’s happening in California.

If you want to see what other areas are doing, go to YouTube.com and search for “sign holders” or “Sign Spinners”Back to the promotion itself, these townhomes are being built by R&J Builders and marketed by Gloria and Roland Castle at Real Estate Teams. They are located off McCain Blvd and priced in the High $200s.Feel free to call me if you need Buyer’s Agent to represent you…yes even for new homes.

Middletown Fireworks and Frederick 4th of July

Middletown put on an enjoyable evening of festivities complimented with some background music on Saturday night. The weather was very cooperative. We grilled at home and headed down to the park afterwards. We picked our spot on the open field of the park east of the lake along Coblentz Road. The park was not crowded at all and we had a perfect view. The fireworks were, in my opinion, far superior to other surrounding towns. Unfortunately the evening ended with the sounds of an ambulance. I am guessing someone was burnt by some of the low flying sparks from the display.

I am glad we got them in, as it seems the weather won’t be too cooperative Wednesday for the Frederick City fireworks at Baker Park. They have an old band from my past lined up as the Headliner performance. How many of you remember Blue Oyster Cult? They kick off at 5:15 by the Bell Tower. For all of you Country Folk, WFRE will have their stage set up by the pool in the Soccer Fields. Their headliner, Mark Wills, starts at 7:00 PM. You can get all the details for Frederick’s Celebration on their website It has the list of events for the whole day at Baker Park. I think this is new this year, there will be another stage setup on the baseball fields past Culler Lake. Their venue is more alternative and rock. The days events kick off at noon at Bandshell. Come early stake out your real estate for the fireworks.

If your not into the crowds, Overlook off Himes has a decent view of the park.

Here’s some of my shots of the fireworks…don’t laugh, it’s tough filming Fireworks effectively…enjoy.

You may have read earlier that I was involved in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life in Frederick County this year. I started a team to raise money for Cancer awareness and support programs. Our final number turned out to be $3,632.40 a few off of our goal of $4,000. But let me share with you the goals and numbers from the whole event itself.

Here’s the infamous video:

The song is “Why We Walk” by the Mamasitas. CDs are available for $5 and benefit American Cancer Society along with The Frederick County Relay for Life. You can get them through Laurie, just send her an email.A little sidebar, I will the Online Chair for next year’s event…so please stay tuned for more information on how to get involved. The more people involve the more we can reach out to those in need.

Yes, that’s Miss Maryland 2006, Brittany Lietz. She’s a cancer survivor. Read her story, it will make you think about the next time you go out in the sun.
