Locally Made Gumbo, Craft Beer, Winter Gala all in the Spotlight this Weekend in the Coastal Region
February rolls on this week, as we inch our way toward the beginning of another Spring season here at the Delaware and Maryland beaches.
Daylight Savings Time will be starting again in a couple of weeks, baseball’s Spring training has begun in Florida and Arizona and the Daytona 500 is even in the books for another year. All of this points toward the end of Winter and the long awaited beginning of the warm weather months in the United States.
We’ve got a few great events to tell you about this week, headlined by a tasty annual event in Rehoboth Beach and a formal gala next door in Dewey. Keep reading below for much more on these and a handful of other fun happenings in and near the coastal region.
