I just received my invitation to the gala event at the Weinberg Center. You know you are going to be asking yourself later “What’s there to do on New Year’s Eve in Frederick?” You know it’s going to happen! Well plan early. This black-tie event not only contributes to your enjoyment for the evening, but also helps the restoration process of the Weinberg Center. Now let me share that invitation with you. And when you make your reservations, tell them you were invited by Bob Carney on FocusOnFrederick.com. (that’s invited not sponsored.)

The Frederick Fair – List of events!!! (2007)

Look, Look!!! Do You know what that means? The fair is coming, the fair is coming… I know I sound like a kid waiting for Christmas…I am!!! This is the first vendor trailer getting ready to pull into the Fair Grounds.
I love the Frederick Fair. Not the rides, not the cotton candy, not the cows, not the contest…but the FOOD. OK, if you haven’t noticed my petite figure, I like to eat. It’s one thing I have in common with everyone I know. Ya gotta eat sometime!!! The fair is only 9 days long…and I need to get my share of all the goodies until next year. Some of my favorites;
- Hemp’s Meats – Pit beef sandwiches are top notch!!! Then the pulled pork, then…ohh I can’t take it.
- Butterfly Potatoes – Like one continuous potato chip with cheese and ketchup (Heinz only)
- Gyros – This guy is from Bethel Park, PA and works it by himself all week. I don’t know how he does it, but keep on doing it!!!
- Sweet Potato Fries sprinkled with a little bit of cinnimon – Just added Favorite, Thanks Des!
- Funnel Cakes finishes off dinner if I can walk at this point.
- (saving this space for future Frederick Fair Foods)
