Good morning, Frederick.

A Maryland family-backed fundraiser has raised over $7,300 to support trucker Shawn Slagle and his wife Deborah after a truck crash in Wyoming killed his cherished Shih Tzu, Honeybear (the loyal co-pilot).

The funds will cover crash expenses and fund a memorial cross for the dog.

Two local organizations have received grants from the Maryland Historical Trust to support heritage site preservation in Frederick County (helping maintain Black history).

The City of Frederick Arts and Culture Department invites the community to the youth poetry exhibition 'Hope and Resilience in the Face of Climate Change' at City Hall on Feb.

Frederick County Public Schools is set to receive $6.7 million more than estimated for its FY27 operating budget after the state allocated extra funding, which will support district programs.
