5 Favorite Oakland Winter Fest Activities
TAYLOR-MADE DEEP CREEK VACATIONS & SALES BLOG
Oakland Winter Fest is held the Saturday of President’s Day weekend each year. It is a great way to celebrate the season with friends and family. You can stroll through the historic downtown as you enjoy delicious food and fun activities. For the second year, you can buy a $15 ticket for the Wine Walk. You can taste approximately 12 different wines, which will be available at a number of locations throughout the town.
I picked out 5 of my favorite Oakland Winter Fest activities that you absolutely don’t want to miss!

25th-annual Country Fest and Auction scheduled Aug. 24
From The Garrett County Republican
McHENRY — The 25th-annual Country Fest and Auction is set for Aug. 24 at the Garrett County Fairgrounds in McHenry from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission and parking are free.
Billed as “an event for the whole family,” the festival is traditionally held the fourth Saturday in August.
Planning, setting up, running and cleaning up takes a large team of volunteers.
“Each church member from the age of 10 and up is assigned something to do,” said Lucy Maust, festival secretary. “We all just pitch in and do it.”
The fundraiser is sponsored by the Bittinger and Pillar of Life Mennonite churches in the Bittinger/Accident area. Maust stressed that 90 percent of all proceeds go toward Christian education for the church members’ children. The remaining 10 percent is donated to Christian Aid Ministries — a nonprofit Mennonite group headquartered in Berlin, Ohio — to minister to the “physical and spiritual needs of the world.”

Deep Creek Axe Throwing Company open for business
From The Garrett County Republican
McHENRY — Axes are flying at Deep Creek Lake, but they are not being used for chopping down trees.
The same people who brought Monkey Business Adventure Park and the Deep Creek Ninja Factory to the area have started a new sport venture, Deep Creek Axe Throwing Company.
“We wanted to come up with another activity where families could get active and we thought this would be a great sister activity to Monkey Business,” said manager Jordan Smith. “It is a great stress reliever, super fun and yet another way to get active.”
