Chincoteague Pre-Holiday Potpouri

Chincoteague Pre-Holiday Potpouri

Greetings from the totally water-logged Chincoteague Island! Remember, the beach will rise again in time for next summer. Never fear!

Well, despite being pummeled by rain many times in recent months, the Chincoteague Bridge is on track for a mid to end of January Opening. That’s nothing short of amazing! The years of inconvenience (that’s an understatement) will soon end and the flow of traffic to and from Chincoteague will be easy. Hallelujia!

On a culinary note, you should check out the new Capt.Zack’s mobile seafood restaurant in Oak Hall, just south of T's Corner on Rt.13. It’s quick and good! Call Crystal or Tammy at 757-894-7097.

And now, here’s Evelyn Shotwells’ ‘to do’ list for Chincoteague Island this weekend.
