the Town of Thurmont continues to be a hub

Town of Mechanicstown, the name was
changed to Thurmont by an act of the
State legislature on January 18, 1894.
This unique part-German, part-French name

A large crowd took advantage of the great weather and family entertainment at the annual 50’s & 60’s Family Fun Day. The kids games attracted many youngsters and they enjoyed the fun and prizes. The car show had over 50 registered vehicles as well as an additional 30 or so that arrived later in the day. The GHC members served delicious food and drink, there was free water melon for everyone and many other tasty treats. The Elower Dance Studio entertained the crowd followed by the hula-hoop contest, baked goods walk and the cup cake eating event. The day was capped off with an evening of music by the ever popular Big Cam and the Lifters! Thanks to all the volunteers, the members of the Guardian Hose Company, Boy Scout Troop 270, and a special Thank You to Wayne and Jill Hooper for all their hard work!
