Happenings in the "dog days"
Greetings from Chincoteague!
regular readers of the Chincoteague Insider Blog are well aware of my high regard for the work of the Chincoteague Chamber of Commerce. These folks work hard every day to enhance the business environment on Chincoteague Island and to add true value to the Chincoteague visitor's vacation experience. So, without further ado, here is Evelyn Shotwell's list of things to do on the Island. Take it away Evelyn!

Good Morning,
This week has certainly felt like “the dog days of summer”!! The good news is the mosquitoes seem to have disappeared for a while. At least they are not in a feeding frenzy like last week. We still have interesting things to do on Chincoteague and Assateague Islands. Hold on tight this weekend and enjoy being “out and about”. We should be enjoying cooler temps by Sunday.
OUT & ABOUT

August 22 & 26: Farmer’s Market behind Don’s Seafood Restaurant—8 a.m. to Noon

August 25: Hospice Grief Support Program—1:30-3:00 p.m.—6309 Church St.
August 26: Mandy Kriss Concert at 8 p.m. at the Senior Center on Church St. Old pop tunes, Broadway Ballads, Tin Pan Alley ditties, simmering “torch” burners, the blues, and Brazillian Bossa are all part of the show.
August 27: Summer Cinema Series—“Waking Ned Devine” –9 p.m.—Robert Reed Waterfront Park—Bring a chair or blanket and enjoy!!! Last one of the summer!!
September 2: Deadline for qualified individuals to apply for 4 special use permits to provide guided waterfowl hunting opportunities for the 2009-2010 migratory game bird season. Lottery will be held September 9. Contact Refuge Manager Lou Hinds at 757-336-6122 for more information.
