Caroline County fair organizers, local residents and retirees honored at supervisors meeting
Summary
The board recognized community achievements: an appreciation resolution for Cameron Picket's rehabilitation, a retirement resolution for Colonel Paul Perry, and a report from Fran Whitaker on the 2025 county fair (attendance >9,500) and plans for the 2026 event.
The March 10 meeting featured several community recognitions and a fair update. The board adopted a resolution honoring Cameron Picket, a Caroline High School junior who suffered a severe spinal cord injury and has progressed in rehabilitation; family members described recent therapy at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and community support including home modifications donated by local builders.
Later the board adopted a resolution of appreciation for Colonel Paul Perry upon his retirement after 27 years of service leading local detention facilities; Perry thanked the jail board and county supervisors for their support.
In a longer presentation, Francine (Fran) Whitaker, president of the Caroline County Agriculture Fair Association, reviewed the fair's 2025 results (more than 9,500 attendees, scholarships awarded, strong homegoods and barn‑animal participation) and laid out plans for the 2026 fair (June 17–20) celebrating America's 250th birthday. Whitaker also acknowledged volunteers and sponsors and noted the association's scholarship program and youth activities.
These items were presented as honors and community updates rather than policy actions.
