The last Baltimore Arts Festival...
In 1978, The Baltimore Arts Festival was seeing success. Richard Micherdzinski, the director of the festival involved in the 11 previous festivals stated "We've moved, we've expanded and in some respects we've made changes." Instead of having amateur performances like there had been in previous yeras, the 1978 festival had fewer performances by more well known artists, and was held on the Inner Harbor promenade in early July instead of June in the Hopkins Plaza. This festival did catch some criticism from local and amateur Baltimore artists that wanted to be included in the festivities, and felt that they were being excluded so that tourists would see what Mayor Schaefer and members of the MACAC wanted instead; "Not the true Baltimore," stated one amateur artist excluded from exhibits.

- Hello! I am starting this blog to track both mine, my boyfriends, and my dogs training progress. Pippin is a 6 year old terrier mix that recently bit my boyfriend, and since the bite has displayed what we to believe as dominance aggression towards him. Up until this point he was loosely trained and treated like he was a fellow human/ member of the family. He IS a member of the family but he needs to learn his spot in our pack and I need to ensure that he is not a threat to anyone. The day after the bite was filled with a multitude of questions from training methods to thoughts about humane euthanasia. I was thankful for some online sources (that I will link and reference throughout our journey) and believe that this might serve to help others as well as help my boyfriend and I document this experience.
