Caterers across Frederick report a drop in holiday bookings due to an anemic economy and lingering post 9 11 anxiety. Dusinn at The Lily Factory notes eight or nine parties last year shrinking to two in 2001 while Silo Factory clients also pull back. Some venues like Braddock Inn enjoy solid volumes with small parties, and Dutch’s Daughter notes a slow start but recent activity by staff.
