Christmas Street 2019
Saturday kicked off the 2019 holidays with our annual Christmas Street Festivities. From breakfast with Santa to the Main Street parade, each event brought community members together for a day of yuletide merriment! Lots of hardworking souls made the day a huge success, but special shout out to the staff of the APD and DPW, Mr. Mike Hiob who was MC, along with Mrs. Caroline Curry and all our parade coordinators, without whom none of this would have been possible.
Christmas Craft Fair
The Christmas Street Craft Fair at AHS was a tremendous success! Despite the  change in venue from the Fire Station , the Fair set a high bar for the future. Your 2019 Craft Fair would not have been possible without the dilligent work of Mrs. Vickie Horne of the Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce, leaders from City Hall and the Harford County School System, all of whom worked tirelessly to ensure its success.  Well done and Thank you!
Winter is Coming to Aberdeen
Winter is just around the corner and it looks like Aberdeen's due for our first significant snowfall ahead of schedule. After a day of rain this Tuesday, look for colder temperatures to shift the downpour to possible snowfall, anywhere from 1"-3" forecasted. Wednesday will continue the snow during the morning with accumulations less than one inch. Give yourself plenty of time for your morning commute on Wednesday, ensuring that your car windows have been cleared of snow and ice and defogged.
APG Tour of Homes
You're invited to the 3rd Annual Tour of Homes on December 10th from 11-2PM and 4-6PM. Join us to get a peek inside seven beautiful historic homes on APG!

Business Spotlight: Famous & Spang
It’s not well known, but Aberdeen’s own Famous & Spang Insurance has been in business for 110 years!  That’s right . . . this successful hometown business has been around for over a Century.  But that doesn’t mean they haven’t kept up with the times. The staff stays abreast of trends and benefits to ensure their clients receive the most professional, top notch choices in auto, home, life, boat and commercial insurance. The Bennett Family, who own Famous and Spang, not only work in Aberdeen, but have Aberdeen at heart. You’ll find them volunteering at the  Fire Department, assisting with fundraisers, directing runners during races, sitting on boards and attending events.  All to give back to the community they love. When you buy that Christmas diamond, move into that new apartment or house or even bring a new horse home to the farm, call Famous & Spang to get the right insurance.  For more info call  (410) 272-2300 or stop in at 200 West Bel Air Avenue in Aberdeen.
