The public will have a chance to meet with local businesses that may be of resource to them and their home needs. This will be an opportunity for businesses to connect and showcase what they have to offer YOU!

Cindy's Fund (a local charity on a mission to help cancer patients in Garrett County) will be running concessions from the kitchen with proceeds going to support their mission, and Emalee Dicks will be doing face painting for children for FREE.
Courtesy of Level Acres Landscaping & Nursery from Springs, PA, at least the first 50 children will get to become mini landscapers for a day! Kids will have the opportunity to experience a little piece of landscaping with some added fun, designing and decorating individual planters, and planting a plant to take home and watch grow.
Come to meet with our vendors or just to look around at the boats and hot tubs that will be on display!
‘Adorable Adoptables’ available at county animal shelter
OAKLAND — Among the “Adorable Adoptables” currently housed at the Garrett County Animal Shelter are four felines named Jack, Miss Kitty, Moe and Melissa.
Jack is a large neutered black and white male who was picked up as a stray in Oakland.
“Is he yours?” asked Lisa Baker, Garrett County Humane Society president.
Miss Kitty is an older spayed longhaired white feline who was given up by her owner.
Moe is a friendly 8-month-old male black stray.
“Melissa is a sweet brown tabby who had kittens of her own,” Baker said. “She also fostered some motherless kittens. Now she needs a home.”
