News American: "Big Deal Downtown... Or, Flaunting The Festival?"

The Baltimore City Arts Festival of 1975 was planned to be the biggest arts event (again) in Baltimore History. The MACAC sent out flyers calling the grand opening of the event to be a "flaunt." Mayor Schaefer , decided that every aspect of art or arts in Baltimore must be shown in a "flaunt" parade prior to the grand opening, as suggested by Bob Hieronimus. "A Flaunt is a parade of a very special nature," said Bob Hieronimus a well known Baltimore artist, and the chairman of the Arts Tower committee.

About Me

Baltimore, Maryland, United States
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.
