Local Legion seeks use of Thurmont parking lot
Mr. Dorsey told Legion officials that if someone was hurt on the lot during postal business as a federally insured group they would pay but he doubts that resolves the issue. He notes Colorfest rental practice and asks why the parking lot cannot be rented to the Legion. R. Lee Fisher says the Masonic Lodge owns the adjacent lot and a development plan is needed before any agreement.

Beverages Provided to Festival Bands Stir Debated Legal Issue
In Frederick's Festival of the Arts last weekend two of three bands in Baker Park were supplied beer contrary to city law. NRBQ and Beau Jacque and the Zydeco Hi-Rollers had beer as per contracts, with no city exemption beyond the Fourth of July. City attorney N. Lynn Tillery confirmed beer provisions violated the law, while promoter Joe Lee noted no unusual demand for beer. Beers were consumed behind the bandstand when a Winnebago dressing trailer failed to appear.
