This weekend is the 25th annual Maryland Wine Festival at the Carroll County Farm Museum in Westminster. The event is expected to draw thousands. The museum's educational efforts go on throughout the year. Dottie Freeman, the museum's administrator, began working there in 1986. "I feel strongly connected to the rural roots of Carroll County, having grown up with my grandparents and learning how to live off the land," she said. She lives in Westminster with her husband, Dusty.

An in-ground swimming pool with a beach house

"In 2000, we purchased [a] very lovely 13-room stone dream home. However, I still have more wants and wishes for our home."

A cruise

"I would thoroughly enjoy taking a cruise with my husband to Hawaii."

A summer home

"I'd like a place where the sun shines the majority of the time, near water, and have ample Danielle Steele books to read."

A motorboat and trailer

"As a child, we traveled to Annapolis each summer, boating and crabbing the old-fashioned way with the line and the bait, and then dipping the crab once you've pulled the string to the surface."

A Virginia getaway

"I would like to have a cabin in Virginia (where my husband is from) along the Shenandoah River, not more than three hours from Carroll County."
