Rehoboth Beach’s Bandstand Christmas tree installed
COVID-19 may have caused the cancellation of Rehoboth Beach’s annual Tree Lighting and Sing-Along at the Bandstand, but there will still be a Christmas tree bringing holiday shoppers cheer.
The 40-foot-tall blue spruce, donated by Lewes couple Jerry and Paula Owens, was installed Nov. 18. The move and installation were made possible by the donated time and efforts of John L. Briggs & Company, George W. Plummer & Son, and Delmarva Power.
Cape Gazette subscribers are scheduled to get their ‘Tis the Season publication in the Tuesday, Nov. 24 edition; newsstands are scheduled to get the holiday publication Friday, Nov. 27. It will also be available online at capegazette.com. The annual ‘Tis the Season publication will be a little different this year – no need for song lyrics – but it’s still chock-full of useful holiday information, including a local gift guide and local chefs sharing their favorite foods.
Chris Flood has been working for the Cape Gazette since early 2014. He currently covers Rehoboth Beach and Henlopen Acres, but has also covered Dewey Beach and the state government. He covers environmental stories, business stories and random stories on subjects he finds interesting, and he also writes a column called Choppin’ Wood that runs every other week. Additionally, Flood moonlights as the company’s circulation manager, which primarily means fixing boxes that are jammed with coins during daylight hours, but sometimes means delivering papers in the middle of the night. He’s a graduate of the University of Maine and the Landing School of Boat Building & Design.
