Subject: [MDFR] History Moment - 5-30
Date: Wed, 30 May 2001 07:21:15 -0400


On May 30, 1950, more than 4,000 people attended
the 200th Anniversary celebration in Walkersville, and
the dedication of the new fire hall and community center.
This building now serves as Town Hall after extensive
renovations.

On May 30, 1980, Judge William W. Wenner, of the
Frederick County District Court, was appointed to
The Sixth Judicial Circuit Court by Gov. Harry Hughes.
He replaced Judge Robert E. Clapp, Jr., who retired.

On May 30, 1994, Judge Bridge Memorial Park was
dedicated. This park commemorates the Jug Bridge
over the Monocacy River, which was built in 1808 and
remained in use until 1942 when a section collapsed into
the river.

If anyone can add information to these History Moments,
or would like to suggest an item for another calendar day,
please contact me privately.
