The Waterford Fair 2012, Frederick Maryland Photographger


Each year I participate in The Waterford Fair's Juried Photo Exhibit.  It gives me something to work towards and then an excuse to visit the fair.  Here are some images from my visit on a very quiet, cloudy, drizzly day with my family and our friends.  Barely anyone was there, so we nearly had the town to ourselves.  As with all outings that are done annually, we are beginning to see this fair as a tradition.
Some homes in town. The top right named Sunnyside is for sale, The Second Street School is the bottom left.

More homes and a map from Eugene Sheele's shop.
Blacksmith from Butterbridge Forge.  We bought the hook he was creating.
Directions
Birdhouses


This reminds me of New Orleans
Inside the Marshall Claggett House an 18th Century log cabin.  The Claggetts, who were black, raised 9 children in this one-room, one-story home.

I just loved the colors and the dog poking out as the people talked.


The boys waiting to go inside the log house.  We walked to the back entrance and one sat down making himself at home….the others did the same.

Stonemasons's Home from 1879. Frederick Maryland Photographer

A recent commission that will be a surprise gift.  Before photos of a home and property that was built by an emancipated slave in 1879.  He was a stonemason and the stone fence surrounding the property still stands.
