It is officially fall in Frederick County! Along with cooler temperatures, changing leaves and cozier clothing, we have been looking forward to the return of several events.
The Great Frederick Fair was last week, and we had a blast visiting the vendors, eating yummy fair food and working with local vendors at the Homegrown Frederick Wineries, Breweries & Distilleries Showcase. Read on to find out who won Farm Family of the Year, Ag Business of the Year, Ag Advocate of the Year, and Young Farmer of the Year.
Read our interview with Janet Harding about Frederick Health’s diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. The monthly EmPOWER Networking events returned this month with guest speaker David Brooks. Be sure to check our website for next month’s networking event and take a look at our new Diversity and Inclusion Business Directory.
As the seasons change one thing remains constant within OED - our commitment to support our local business community. We look forward to seeing many of our newest community members during Business Appreciation Week next month and sharing all the highlights of our visits.
