Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley thanked Charles County Commissioner President Wayne Cooper for the gift of a miniature carousel horse at the Maryland Association of Counties Conference in Ocean City two weeks ago. The statue was a gift from the Charles County 350th Anniversary Committee.
The statue is a one-of-a-kind and limited edition (only 350 will be available) horse individually painted by members of the Southern Maryland Decorative Painters. Priced at $150 each, the commemoratives are mounted on a music box that plays the familiar tune, “As Time Goes By.”
For information on where to buy the statues, please contact the Charles County Department of Economic Development and Tourism at (301)645-0551. The 350th Anniversary Committee will also have the horses on sale at the Charles County Fair in September.
