Chincoteague November Happenings

Greetings from a wind-blown and rain-drenched Chincoteague Island. This nor'easter can't last forever, but it has already overstayed it's welcome. When it's time to come out of your cave, there will be plenty to do here on Chincoteague. As usual, Evelyn Shotwell from the Chincoteague Chamber of Commerce, is right on top of the situation. O.K. Evelyn, I have a real bad case of Cabin Fever, "what can I look forward to?"
