I spent Wednesday evening at the Garrett County Fair, working the Railey Realty booth. There were a surprising number of people who stopped by to check on the real estate market, pick up our summer sales guide and to get some free gifts. By far the most popular giveaway this year is our new frisbee:
We have plenty - stop by and visit our booth in the upper exhibit barn and get your frisbee!!!

The newest craze in transportation and touring, offered at Deep Creek Lake’s Wisp Resort are Segway Tours. The Segway is an upright, self balancing people mover. The movie “Paul Blart Mall Cop” featured the Segway and so did the movie “10 MPH”. In the movie 10 MPH, two guys quit their corporate jobs to take a road trip across America on a Segway traveling 10 mph.
To get up, you start in the water behind the boat in a seated position with your heels on top of the board. While holding a specially designed wakesurf rope the boat then pulls you up. After you are up, you can then pull yourself towards the front of the boat’s wake. After you “catch the wake” and start surfing you can then throw the rope into the back of the boat. The wake created by the boat mimics the look and feel of an actual ocean wave.
The risk of getting hurt is very, very low. Also, this activity can be done on days and during times while boat traffic is heavy on the lake. You do not need early morning calm, glassy lake conditions to wakesurf. Unlike the other watersports, you can enjoy this activity all day long.

All 18 holes are now complete. The front 9 opened last fall to play and will re-open again May 1st of this year. The back 9 holes are scheduled to open in June 2010. Reviews from golfers who have played the course say its “spectacular”. The scenery is incredible as some holes feature breathtaking views of Deep Creek Lake. A temporary clubhouse will be set up this summer and Hale Irwin himself will be here on July 10th for a reception and to play the course. 
If you are looking for some activities on New Year’s Eve in the Deep Creek area - the Wisp Ski Resort will once again display fireworks at midnight over the ski area that the whole family can enjoy. Much like the annual Fourth of July show, the fireworks will be viewable from most of McHenry Cove but from my experience the best viewing area is usually near the Bear Claw Snow Tubing Park.
