A Christmas Story

Today on DelmarvaLife –

Milton Theatre

The building housing the Milton Theatre has stood in its location for more than a hundred years. Earlier this week, management made the heartbreaking decision to close the doors indefinitely. We talk with them about what this means and how the community can help.

Believe in Tomorrow

This Friday, Nashville artists and Ocean City native, Jimmy Charles headlines “Don’t Stop Believin’ Christmas Concert and Benefit” at Hoppers Taphouse and Pavillion in Salisbury. The family-friendly event benefits the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s House by the sea. We talk to Jimmy about the upcoming show.

In today’s Wellness Wednesday, we recap the many services and partnerships made possible by the Worcester County Health Department.

How about a Christmas gift that won’t fit under the tree. We visit Shore Appliance Connection in Salisbury to see the selection of gifts that keep giving long after Christmas is over.

Cabin Fever

Katie visit Cabin Fever Play Centre in Cambridge to see how kids can safely use their imaginations, play at their own pace, and most importantly, have fun.
