The Day in the Park / Battle of Funkstown event is just around the corner on july 18th and 19th. But there is a new addition to the line up for this outstanding event……….. The 1st Annual Car Show. The show is open to anyone with a car or truck and would like to show it off and support scouting in Funkstown. The cost for entry is just a $5.00 donation that will go to help the Boy Scouts In Funkstown. The judging will be done by the general public that comes out to view the cars and trucks. The winner will get the “Best of Show” trophy and a cash prize that is to be determined. The show will run from 4:00 to 7:00 pm. This is a great chance to get in on the ground floor of a new event. Also there will be plenty to do while you are waiting to hear just who the winner is while you are eating the great food from the Fire Company, browsing the craft venders, watching the kids games or checking out the Civil War re-enactors. With all of the activity, excitement and good deeds you will sleep great after the fireworks show so it is really a day that is good for your health, not to say anything about the points that you will get for taking your best girl or guy out for a day of fun.

Memorial Day For Fallen Civil War Solders
The town has monuments for most of the past wars located at the corner of Baltimore Street and Frederick Road. For the past several years the Town Of Funkstown has been working towards a memorial for the fallen solders of the Civil War. The memorial will be placed in the park along the actual battle grounds but the final site has yet to be determined. Although we are on our way this is going to be a long process as monuments are very expensive. 100% of The Day in the Park venders registration goes to the memorial fund. Irene Owens who does those wonderful counted cross stitch items for Olde Tyme Christmas raffles came up with an idea to do her part to help. She has spent the last year stitching up a beautiful piece that measures over 16″ square and is of a higher stitch count than she normally does for Christmas. We now have it framed and ready to raffle for just $1.00 a chance. The picture, matting and framing was all donated so 100% of the ticket sales will be going to the Civil War Memorial fund and the picture may be viewed at the town hall. This is a great way to take a chance for a wonderful piece of art, and help remember to fallen men all at the same time. Tickets are on sale to everyone at the town hall now and will be sold up to right before drawing that will be held Saturday night July the 21st at the Day In The Park/Battle Of Funkstown Event, (You need not be present to win). Please thank Mrs. Owens for all her help with Community events as that is what makes Funkstown such a special place to live.
