On behalf of the board of trustees I would like to express The Lewes Historical Society's sincere gratitude and appreciation to all those who made the Wine Expo March 24 at the Lewes History Museum a wonderful success.
Catherine and Kevin Hester of Teller Wines selected the society as this year's beneficiary, and provided exceptional vision and enthusiasm for the event. Linda Dylla, a society trustee, was chair of the event and worked tirelessly with her committee to make sure every last detail was attended to, to make the expo an important fundraiser for the society.
All the wonderful individuals and businesses who donated items and services for the live and silent auction: B.J. Clark and Mary Ann Murray, Brian White, Randy Roberts, Floral Inspirations, Print Coast to Coast, Robert Cassedy, Blooming Boutique, Bill Roeder & John Overton, Vintage Imports, Michael Darling and Allen Carrier, Biblion, Susan Donohoe, Greg Burton and Steve Manos, Paul Cullen, Rehoboth Foodie, Groomingdales, Kaisey's Delights, Half-Price Auto, Waves Car Wash, Kindle Restaurant, Lewes Unleashed Dog Park, Jean Doran, Howard Eberle, Steve Rogers, PUPS of Lewes, Peninsula Gallery, Fred Dylla, Coastal Concerts, Rehoboth Beach Film Society, SoDel Concepts restaurants, Mitchell Stickler, Seagreen Bicycle, Lewes History Museum Shop, Half Full Restaurant, Rich & Carolyn Claypoole, Linda Dylla, Cape Water Taxi, Cakebread Cellars, Andrew Lyter, Quest Adventures, George W.

Fork & Flask at Nage, Grandpa (Mac), Palate, Patty's, The Buttery, and Touch of Italy provided wonderful food for the expo that was enjoyed by all the ticketholders who attended.
