Dear Friends of Baltimore County,

Though in the midst of the blizzards of February it might never happen, the end of the winter of 2010 is finally in sight, and flowers will be in bloom soon. The first days of spring are always eagerly anticipated, but after this year, I believe that the people of Baltimore County are more excited than ever for Spring to arrive.

Something for Everyone

Fortunately, Baltimore County is a great place to be during this time of the year. From Dundalk, to Towson, to Catonsville, there is something for everyone to do in Baltimore County this spring, from unique one-of-a kind shopping to great hometown cooking to fun events that you’ll only find in your local neighborhood. And the Baltimore County Tourism Program is making it easier than ever to find something to do with their Spring Fling in Baltimore County. They have put together a list of more than 100 events that are taking place throughout our neighborhoods from March 1 – April 18.

Spring Fling

Whether you are interested in community festivals full of music, food, and art; opportunities to learn about the history of our great County; or where you can catch a great college lacrosse game, the Spring Fling Promotion has something for you, no matter how old you are or where you’re from. If you’re on spring break, there’s no need to buy an expensive plane ticket and fly half way across the country to stay in over priced hotels. There is plenty for you and your families to do right here in your own backyard.

For more information on Spring Fling in Baltimore County, you can go to www.visitbacomd.com. If you’re on Facebook, you can become a fan of “Baltimore County Spring Fling,” and you will receive weekly updates about all the fun things to do this spring, right here in Baltimore County.

I know it’s been a long winter, but the snow’s been shoveled, and the temperatures are rising, so I look forward to seeing all of you in Baltimore County having a well deserved Spring Fling.

Sincerely,

Jim Smith
Baltimore County Executive
