A few of my online friends planned a “tweetup” to enjoy some burgers and sweet treats!

It was a hot day so we sat in the shade.

The kids ran around and had fun!

This day was a sneak peek before it officially opened in June. The Farmers Market showcases local wares like beef from local farms, as well as goodies from small shops and food from the area.

We have had our Kooper’s Burger Wagon burgers before, but this was our first taste of IcedGems Cupcakes. We will be back! We split a half dozen, and they are fantastic, delicious bites of heaven!

Two kids enjoyed the birthday cake flavor, and agreed that it tasted just like the real, yummy thing. Another had the PB&J, which has jelly in the middle and peanut butter icing. Another thumbs up. I was disappointed that the one I had been drooling over, the margarita one, wasn’t on “tap” for the day, but ended up with the “Key West”, which is a key lime pie in a cupcake. It was fantastic! I also had a mocha coffee, which was delicious as well. Next time, I am hoping for the “Midnight Mint” or the margarita.

Iced Gems travels daily, but plans to be at the Hunt Valley Farmers Market on a regular basis.

The Hunt Valley Farmers Market is Thursdays from 11 am – 2 pm June through October.

Monday, June 14, 2010 is Flag Day, and Oregon Ridge is doing it in style. The American Flag Foundation, Inc. is hosting their 31st Annual “Pause for the Pledge” event in Cockeysville this year from 6-9 pm.

From the coordinators:

Lead the Nation in saying the Pledge of Allegiance at 7:00 p.m. EDT.
Band Concert and a Fly-Over by the A-10 Thunderbolt Jets Of the 104th Fighter Squadron 175th Wing, Maryland Air National Guard

Program concludes with Spectacular Fireworks Display. Come join us as we celebrate with a Star-Spangled Banner Program!

This looks to be a fun event for all — and the flyover is always a popular, loud, and exciting experience.

Celebrate our Flag in an enjoyable and Patriotic way on Monday for Flag Day at Oregon Ridge.

There are a number of events to observe Flag Day in Baltimore County, including at Pickersgill in Towson. Just don’t miss out on celebrating!

This is to repair the bridge over Western Run.

Nighttime will have northbound closures as well.

Traffic will be directed from Belfast Road to 83 South to Shawan Road. This will be the only straight way, besides either taking Falls Rd or Jarrettsville Pike/Dulaney Valley Rd, to get from anywhere North of the bridge to anyplace south of the bridge.

This will make things especially difficult for those who live in Sparks, like the many who live in Loveton Farms, as they will have to travel north to go south.

For more information, here is the link to the State Highway Administration’s site.

For those who live in Sparks, be prepared for delays and heavy traffic heading south. For those who live in Monkton and Parkton and points north, be prepared that the area on 83 Southbound will be heavier and slower than usual.

There will be 20 wineries there, as well as family activities, like a great playground and a stage with live music to enjoy.

Crafts, cooking & wine pairings, and organic farm products will be on hand. Great Grapes is open from 12-6 pm both days.

Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the event. A designated driver ticket is $15, and kids under 12 are free.

All of this at the wonderful Oregon Ridge Park in Cockeysville!

The hardwood floors and ceramic tile are in fantastic condition, as is the carpet on the second floor and lower level.

The kitchen has granite counters, and a sitting area. The current asking price is $600,000.

So come on out to Hunt Valley Towne Center tomorrow and get some burgers, and some fresh local produce as well!

The Hunt Valley Station community backs to the NCR Trail off Paper Mill Road.

Located just minutes from the Hunt Valley Towne Center, there are many amenities to offer including dining, shopping, movies, and Wegmans Supermarket.

Hunt Valley Station is also called Hunters Run. Public records state the community to be Hunters Run, while the signage and Home Owners Association show Hunt Valley Station.

Across Paper Mill Road from Hunt Valley Station is the Hunters Run townhome community, thus making the distinction necessary.

Hunt Valley Station is made up of both single family homes and townhouses. There were multiple builders in the community, creating different floorplans. Ryland Homes built many of the homes while Faust did a number as well.

Nearby to Hunt Valley Station  is the Oregon Ridge Park, with the Nature Center, hiking, and playground, plus swimming at the beach in the summer.

Hunt Valley is convenient to I-83 for travel into Baltimore or up through York. Its well-situated location, along with its plentitude of services, makes it a wonderful place to live!

Contact me today to request more information about Hunt Valley Station homes for sale.

A Faust-built home in the Hunters Run community, this one is on a court location, and is for sale for $569,000.

The other two five bedroom homes on the market were built by Ryland, so they have a different layout than this one.

Currently, there are three five bedroom homes for sale in Hunt Valley Station. One is 5 Berrycrest Ct and the other is 1210 Walnutwood Rd.

In 2009, I listed and sold two Hunt Valley Station single family homes.

Today, a new four bedroom home came on at 1210 Maple Leaf Ct, next door to the one I sold in November. That is one is the smallest Ryland-built homes in the neighborhood.
