Frederick County had five different locations participating in the event!
I was glad to be in attendance as the Town of Thurmont joined over 1,000 other towns and cities nationwide in a simultaneous reading of the Declaration of Independence.
Tonight’s event, dubbed “Sharing the Spirit of America,” featured Americans in all 50 States, 5 Territories, the District of Columbia, and Minor Outlying Islands of the United States — along with participants around the globe — reading the Declaration of Independence “together” at 6:00 PM EDT, commemorating the 250th anniversary of the date of its first public reading! 🇺🇸
