I know…not Carroll County news related…but this entity is kind of a spin off of what Scott E had been doing in Howard County for more than 8+ years. I thought is was worth a mention here on this entity.
I want to start of this post by saying THANK YOU to all the voters in Howard County that voted for Scott E’s Blog for the BEST BLOG in Howard County….for the 4th consecutive year.

Thanks to EVERYONE that voted for the Blog for a 4th consecutive “Best Blog” in Howard County. I appreciate it so much.
That entity (Scott E’s Blog) website is “retired” and this entity (Carroll County Observer) is now the entity that I share information to the community. I hope to provide the same (if not better) quality of information to the community today.
Thanks again.
Scott E
