The Baltimore suburb of Owings Mills, MD at the dawn of the 1970s saw a rag-tag group of hippies, under the moniker Tree Frog Productions, take a trust fund and turn it into a 16 month party promoting concerts at Painter's Mill Music Fair. The venue was constructed for theatrical plays featuring a revolving stage for productions in the round. "It was kind of the area's version of what was happening at the Fillmore in San Fransisco" says Ron Nix, a regular attendee and collector who had the foresight to preserve a selection of posters produced for advertising the infamous concert series.
