Snow Removal Policy

The Town of Federalsburg has a Snow Emergency Policy. Residents are required to remove the snow from all sidewalks within 24 hours after the snowfall has stopped. It is imperative that residents do not shovel snow into the street; because even though the snow has stopped falling, the snowplows will still be working to clear the streets. Any snow that is thrown into the street could be thrown back onto the sidewalk by snowplows.

All vehicles must be moved from the Snow Emergency Routes, which are clearly marked with street signs. Any vehicle that is not removed from the Snow Emergency Route, will be towed at the owner's expense.

The Memorial will be a 51 feet diameter circle of pavers with names of the Veterans upon the pavers. Flag Poles will also be placed in the circle as well as small stones (4) to remember the missing in action personnel.

Any questions on the project, comments and addition information may be obtained at Federalsburg Town Hall during normal business days and hours.

The Federalsburg Lions Club would like to invite you to participate in the annual Federalsburg Christmas Parade. The Federlasburg Lions Club is in its second year of sponsorship for the parade. This year's parade will take place on Monday evening, December 12, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. Line up for the parade will begin at 6:00 p.m. on Bloomingdale Avenue and University Avenue. The parade route will change somewhat this year. The parade will begin on Bloomingdale Avenue, travel down North Main Street onto South Main Street and will end at Railroad Avenue. This will enable the homeowners on South Main Street to enjoy the parade. Our theme for the parade this year is "Winter Wonderland."

We will be awarding prizes in all categories as we have in the past. In the float competition we will be having a commercial and non-commercial category. In the marching units, we will be having a performing and non-performing category. Trophies will be categories such as best appearing antique car and classic car. We will also be giving awards to the best appearing vehicle clubs and horse groups, as well as the best appearing commercial or business entry other than floats. We will have a special award known as "Committee's Award" honoring the best appearing unit in the parade. All units are eligible to win this award.
