Well, they're safe this year. But this story really bugged the Carroll County Born-and-Raised child inside of me!
So I just always assumed the fireworks at the Carroll County Farm Museum were just a given, but apparently they struggle to raise the funds each year (read more in the link below). I know this is a hard economic time, but we need entertainment and tradition to stay to keep morale high. I just can't imagine not having the fireworks one year. My brother, who his autistic, would probably die from shock and disappointment.
I know it's more important for someone to eat and have a home then to go to the fireworks show in July, but people going out as a community to celebrate our history is a very important thing, also. We cannot forget our past.
Lets hope it can continue.

About Me
- Alisha George
- Hello! My name is Alisha and I'm going to be a senior this coming year at Washington College. In addition to being a Peer Mentor for the third time, I'm going to be Editor-in-Chief of the school newspaper- The Elm. I have written for the paper since the start of my freshman year, and have been the editor of several different sections, but this summer, I'm going to expand my journalistic experience. I'm interning with my hometown paper- the Carroll County Times. I'm hope to learn a lot and use that knowledge to improve The Elm. Read my blog to see how it goes!
