FREDERICK DOUGLASS` YEARS IN THE BAYSIDE
February 7, 2011
EASTON....Noon - Priscilla Morris, a local researcher and amateur historian will be the guest speaker at the February 7th Brown Bag Lunch program at the St Michaels branch of the Talbot County Free Library.
Frederick Douglas, Years in the Bayside is the subject of her talk. Ms. Morris will discuss her research into the places where Douglass spent his time between 1833 and 1836, focusing on the Bayside farms he described.
The talk will provide a working knowledge of what occurred where and will explore Douglass`s uncanny memory for details and the local impact of his exposé when first published in 1845. Her deep interest in local history grew from rehabilitating area houses, from 17th century family roots in Talbot County, and mainly, from the writings of Frederick Douglass. Morris is a commercial real estate appraiser, board member of Historic Easton, and founder of Easton's Railway Market.
The program is sponsored by the Friends of the Library. All library programs are free and open to the public. Patrons are invited to bring their lunch and enjoy coffee and sweets provided by the library.

“All of my operas have dealt on deep psychological levels with our American mythology,” says composer John Adams, who conducts the Met premiere of his most famous opera. “The meeting of Nixon and Mao is a mythological moment in world history, particularly American history.” Acclaimed director and longtime Adams collaborator Peter Sellars makes his Met debut with this groundbreaking 1987 work, an exploration of the human truths beyond the headlines surrounding President Nixon’s 1972 encounter with Communist China. Baritone James Maddalena stars in the title role.

Shepard, a retired foreign service officer who was stationed in Greece.

RUMMAGE SALE
February 26, 2011
OXFORD........So it`s winter and you are finally getting around to cleaning out that closet (room, shed, boat, house, etc.) that you've been trying to get to for awhile. But what should you do with all the stuff you don't want? It's too good to throw in the trash (after all, you liked it at on point!), but the idea of having a yard sale in freezing weather just doesn`t work for you. Well, here`s a thought - take your "used to be treasures" to the Oxford Firehouse for their Rummage Sale. The Ladies Auxiliary will be accepting your donations from 9am - 4pm on February 25th.
Ofcourse, now that you will have gotten rid of all your "junk", you should stop by the Rummage Sale between 9am and noon on Saturday, February 26th and see what new treasures you can find!
Sponsored by the Oxford Ladies Auxiliary for the benefit of the Oxford Volunteer Fire Company.
