Milton, DE

The annual Milton Christmas Parade takes place Wednesday, December 2, 2009, at 7:30 pm. Sponsored by the Milton Volunteer Fire Department it's a fun event for the whole town. What's more fun than marching bands, lots of bright red fire trucks from all over the area, towns businesses and residents all decked out for the holidays.

Watch the parade anywhere on the route which begins on Union Street and continues through town onto Federal Street. Stop in to Irish Eyes in the heart of town and enjoy Milton's own Irish pub - order a Dogfish Head beer! Did you know that Dogfish, one of the most popular, fastest-growing craft breweries in the world is made right here in Milton, Delaware?

Look for me walking with the Milton Chamber of Commerce helping the town celebrate the arrival of the Holiday Season.

There's only one way to find out! First, mark your calendar for August 22, 2009, the day of the big annual race in the heart of Milton, Delaware. Hundreds of yellow duckies are being sold now and on race day for only $5.00 each. As the newest member of the Milton Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, I believe I have sold the winning Duckie to one of my clients, but you never know!

RACE TIME is 1 PM in the Milton Memorial Park located behind the Milton Public Library at the head of the Broadkill River. FIRST PRIZE IS $500! and there are lots of other prizes donated by local businesses.

But come early and enjoy the BARGAINS ON THE BROADKILL with local vendors, great food and music all day beginning at 9 am.

This event benefits local businesses and the Milton Chamber of Commerce. I'll be there early helping to set up and hope to see you there.

There is an active group of small business owners that make up the Milton Chamber of Commerce. Tonight the June Mixer was hosted by the Milton Garden Club. Kathryn Greig's personal garden was the site and what a beautiful garden for a party. If the other gardens on the tour - July 11th - are anything like Kathryn's garden we are all in for a treat.

I was the winner of two tickets to the Milton Garden Tour! That's what I call the "Grand Prize"!
