Chincoteague July 4th Weekend 2009
Chincoteague July 4th Weekend 2009
Let Freedom Ring! So, goes the song and the meaning behind the celebration known as Independence Day. I hope you are having a wonderful holiday!
With the opening of the 84th Fireman’s Carnival and the Forth of July fireworks, some major milestones in the Chincoteague summer itinerary have been passed. Now I don’t know if there is such a thing as perfect weather for these types of events and I know folks have differing views on these matters, but for me these low humidity days and cool nights suit me just fine. That was at least until today when the rain showers rolled in putting the kibosh on matters concerning the beach.
So, I say just roll with it! What a perfect opportunity to visit some of those Main Street Merchants that have been on your list or go exploring down some of the backstreets and discover one of those off-the- beaten - track Chincoteague Art Emporiums and gift shops. Have a brew at the Chincoteague Inn on the waterfront or just grab an ice cream and relax. It’s “all good” as the hipsters say. Later, you can take in a movie. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is playing at the Island Roxy for parents with kids and Public Enemies starring Johnny Depp is the late feature.
If you are reckless enough to pick up and read a newspaper, you will discover endless hand-wringing about why Sara Palin resigned as Governor of Alaska, or that Marion Barry got arrested again, this time for stalking to add to his list of notable public service achievements. You might learn about yet another drug that was discovered in the “King of Pops” deadly regimen…but why torture yourself? Put that paper down. Right Now! Please…
On the subject of newspapers, I would like to point out and give a thumbs-up to Greg Merritt’s commentary in his Island Perspective on page 2 of this week’s Chincoteague Beacon.
Greg nailed this one! It was entitled “Give our rescue personnel their space, respect.”
Good work Greg! I urge all to grab a copy of the Beacon and read that piece.
Just a reminder about the Chincoteague Blueberry Festival which will be rolling into town on July 24th, 25th & 26th, 2009 at the beautiful Chincoteague Center. This is the 22nd Annual Chincoteague Blueberry Festival and it has expanded it’s musical, culinary and entertainment offerings, while retaining it’s low family friendly admission price.
To learn more about the Blueberry Festival, you can go to www.ChincoteagueBlueberryFestival.com
Don’t forget to Preorder your fresh blueberries and Ultimate Blueberry Pies. These festival favorites always sell out. Don’t be disappointed…preorder both and be happy!
Makes me hungry just thinking about those pies!
‘til later…
