In the rush of everyday life, Garrett Countians surely often forget how lovely their home truly is, so it is most appropriate to set aside a weekend to celebrate the beauty of the Mountaintop, especially during this colorful season. The 44th annual Autumn Glory Festival was kicked off last evening at Wisp Resort, and a wide variety of events and activities are now in motion, slated for the rest of the weekend. Tonight is Oktoberfest, tomorrow are craft shows and the strings contest at Southern High School, Saturday’s downtown Oakland events will include the Grand Feature Parade along with numerous “streetside” events, and tomorrow night the banjos and fiddles will continue, and the 34th annual Western Maryland Tournament of Bands will take place at the Southern High athletic field. Crafts shows are set at the Garrett County Exhibition Hall at McHenry, and at Southern Middle and Broad Ford Elementary schools. A car show will take place in Oakland Sunday. And there is so much more. So happy autumn, Garrett County. Have fun this weekend! Photo by Lisa Broadwater, taken at Little Meadows.
