VHS Digitization in Mount Airy, MD
Mount Airy straddles two counties, but Fall Festival brings everyone together. Cavaliers or Lancers, Carroll or Frederick, families here have been capturing hometown moments since camcorders hit the market.
Those tapes in your closet are degrading every year. The magnetic coating breaks down. Colors fade. Audio gets muddy. I convert VHS, VHS-C, Hi8, MiniDV, slides, and photos to digital files you can watch on any TV or share with family - and I do it right here in Carroll/Frederick County, not in some warehouse across the country.

Mount Airy is the town split between two counties. Kids from the same neighborhood go to different high schools depending on which side of Main Street they live on. But everyone comes together for the Fall Festival and Fire Company carnival. The downtown shops and restaurants have become a destination.
Mount Airy was established along the B&O Railroad in 1830 and straddles the Carroll-Frederick county line - literally, Main Street is the border. The town incorporated in 1894 and grew as a railroad stop and farming community. The historic downtown retains its early 20th century character.
