Steam Train Maury plays the harmonica to an audience of local children and adults gathered around a campfire during Colorfest weekend. Maurice W. "Steam Train Maury" Graham was born June 3, 1917 and was best known as the five-time holder of the title "King of the Hobos", and was later known as "Patriarch of the Hobos".  He visited Thurmont during Colorfest weekend several times in the mid 1970's. During his stays in Thurmont, he visited many local attractions and also rode the fall foliage train during Colorfest several times. Steam Train Maury died in Ohio on November 18, 2006.
