Events 2010

4th Annual Frederick County Barnstorming TourA Success! June 19 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM. $15 adults. Children under 16 free.
A one-day tour of older and unusual barns around Frederick County. This years tour featured 9 different barns and associated historic structures in and near the city of Frederick. The event is an annual fundraiser to increase awareness and inspire a passion for the older barns of Frederick County.
Docents provided tours of the barns. Tour hours were 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Many sites included agricultural
displays and animals. The tour also featured a "Paint-Out" where local artists created
paintings of the barns on the day of the tour and many sold their works at the end of
the day. Tickets included the barn tour, and the art sale and reception. Art sales benefited the good work of Frederick County Landmarks Foundation. This year the art show was held on the lawn at Schifferstadt Museum, 1110 Rosemont Ave. Frederick. The show was judged by Glen Kessler. The top award went to Barbara Nuss. Other winners were Donna Timm, Deborah Lovelace Richardson, Katie Woods, and Dan Murphy. Paula Rubin-Wexler designed the 2010 Barnstormer's poster.
Plans are already underway for Barnstormer's Tour 2011.
