Friends of Cape Henlopen State Park held the 13th annual Wine, Beer, and Cheese Tasting April 27 at the Officers Club in Cape Henlopen State Park. Committee members organized wine vendors and beer brewers to accompany cheese tastings. Volunteers prepared appetizers designed to pair well the tasting. Proceeds will benefit the Thatcher Education Fund, used by the Friends to provide financial support for education programs and transportation needs for school groups visiting the park.
