==History==
Colorfest began in 1963 as a nature walk, but would eventually become a juried arts and crafts festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.colorfest.org/ )〕 The walk was originally organized by either Duncan Burchard, a local naturalist,〔 or John Brown, another Thurmont local.〔 Between 1968 and 1971 the other festivities were added to the walk, which now drew in 30,000 people. In the year 1973 craftspeople, who set up their stands at the carnival grounds and in the community park, were invited to the festival for the first time. The 1973 event was planned by the Catoctin Mountain Tourist Council with the help of volunteers. In 1974 officers were elected for the first time to organise Colorfest. By 1975 the event was drawing in over 75,000 people. The year 1976 was notable for a bad flood on Saturday, which according to American Towns, almost ruined the event. The rain stopped on Sunday and the event was a success in the end.〔 In 1979 Beverly Zienda was elected president of the Colorfest, a job she would hold for 29 years until her death in 2008 when she died from breast cancer. Her husband is quoted as saying that, "she was practically running that Colorfest from her hospital bed." In November 1977 Colorfest held their first annual Catoctin Colorfest dinner meeting. In 1980 craftspeople were invited to set up their stands in the area in front of Thurmont Middle School. By 1988 over 350 vendors participated in Colorfest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.americantowns.com/md/thurmont/organization/catoctin_colorfest )〕 In 2008 the festival began to offer recycling bins for the first time. As of 2013 the president of the Colorfest committee is Carol Robertson who took up the position after Beverly Zienda's death.〔〔
