Today on DelmarvaLife –
A grocery store where old fashioned charm meets necessities that are new. Since 1937, Simmons Market in Cambridge, has been a family owned and operated spot, where shoppers find a variety of quality products and top notch customer service. As the holidays round the corner – it’s the place to find the specialty items that make meals extra special. Katie takes us inside.
As the holidays approach, there’s so much to safely experience across Delmarva – yes, even during a global pandemic. One of those events takes place tomorrow, in the beautiful town of Berlin. We talk with Berlin’s Director of Economic and Community Development, Ivy Wells about “Second Friday in Berlin.”
It’s one of those announcements we wait for all year long – who will perform at the Delaware State Fair? The announcement has come! We talk with Assistant General Manager and Director of Marketing, Danny Aguilar, about who we can look forward to seeing at the 2021 Delaware State Fair.
A lot of famous people have come from Delmarva – but as we all know, fame is fleeting. Most are forgotten as generations pass by. One of those is a preacher’s kid from Georgetown, who, as a young reporter, distinguished himself by covering the civil war. We take you back to 2004, when our friend Charles Paparella researched the life and times of “Gath” Townsend.
We virtually visit the one, the only, Chef Stewart Davis of Flannery’s Bayou and BBQ in Fruitland. He’s showing us how to make Roux.
