Women’s Issues, Youth Cheerleading and “Whatnot” Featured this Weekend in the Coastal Region

We officially leave Winter behind this week and head into the 2019 Spring season here at the Delaware and Maryland beaches. And while Mother Nature doesn’t always cooperate in late March and early April, the calendar tells us that warmer weather and increased outdoor activities are inching closer with each passing day.

We don’t have any outdoor events to tell you about this week, however, as all five of our featured coastal happenings will be held indoors and away from the elements.

That being said, we have some great local events to tell you about for this this first weekend of Spring, at locations ranging from Lewes all the way south to Maryland’s favorite coastal resort of Ocean City.

Okay, on to this weekend’s events. Here are the Oldfather Group’s top happenings for the extended weekend of March 22-24 in the coastal region:

Delaware Women’s Expo (March 23). Held once again at Nassau Valley Vineyards near Lewes, this ninth annual event will feature a wide range of women’s issues, ranging from health and fashion, to lifestyle, livelihoods and much more.

Scheduled to run from 12 to 4 p.m., on Saturday, March 23, several topics will be discussed during the course of the day on the main stage. There will also be nearly 50 vendors on hand, as well as food, giveaways, seminars, prize drawings and much more.

And don’t forget to get your free health checkup while there. Screenings will be given for blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, body mass index and bone density.
