The Maryland State Fairgrounds played host to the World of Pets Expo this past weekend.

Pet owners had access to resources for all animals—products, food, training classes, entertainment—basically anything that would help give a better life to their pets.

The fairly regular event at the Maryland State Fairgrounds drew an early line Friday and is expected to grow Saturday.
Gun enthusiasts lined up around Exhibition Hall at the Maryland State Fairgrounds Friday, drawn to this weekend's gun show because of fears about possible new laws in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre "Because people are scared," Neil Kravitz, a spokesman for the gun show, said. "The minute they say the word 'gun ban' 300 million guns are going to change hands. "It’s no different than going on the air and saying 'there’s going to be a snowstorm,'" he continued. "Then [the supermarkets] run out of toilet paper. There is no difference." Increased gun control has been something many local leaders, such as County Executive Kevin Kamenetz and Police Chief Jim Johnson, as well as Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and Police …

Students count Summer Olympics among the inspirations for their creation.
If you're headed to this year's Festival of Trees, make sure you check out an ambitious creation designed and built by Patapsco High School and Center for the Arts students. Members of the school's National Art Honor Society built a gingerbread house for the annual event that benefits the Kennedy-Krieger Institute. "Their design this year of Big Ben coming out of a pocket watch with Michael Phelps as Santa was inspired by the 2012 Olympics, an interest (in) British literature, and a nod to Doctor Who," magnet coordinator Liberty Grayek said in an email to Dundalk Patch. The creation will be on view at the festival and one lucky winner will be able to buy it through an auction at the event, according to Grayek. The Festival of Trees will be…

Forty-six officers were awarded new ranks Friday morning at a ceremony in Timonium.
Forty-six Baltimore County police officers were promoted to higher ranks Friday morning in the largest promotion class in the department’s 137-year history, Police Chief Jim Johnson said. “They have performed extraordinarily well in this agency for decades. This is a very experienced group of people who are ready, willing and able to take on new responsibilities,” Johnson told Patch following the ceremony at the Maryland State Fairgrounds. “They’re shining examples of the very best in America’s law enforcement.” Johnson attributed the substantial number of promotions partly to retirement incentives offered by the county. “Officers for the last five years have been waiting for retirement programs that have come of age and in addition the …

You're not going to find these treats at your local grocery store.
Browsing the Baltimore County Farmers Market at the Maryland State Fairgrounds recently, I came across some unusual vegetables that you wouldn't find at the local Wegmans or Giant grocery stores. I had grown tired of the usual tomatoes, corn, beans and melons, and decided to experiment with something new. The farmers market didn't disappoint. Huge tomatillos with the paper husks bright purple okra, giant Armenian cucumbers and three different colors of beets were some of the more uncommon selections sold by vendors. The beets were so beautiful that I picked up three different varieties to make a beet salad. I have vivid, bad memories of tasting Harvard beets from a jar when I was a young girl and spitting them out in disgust. But I decided…
